These findings underscore the difficulty of detecting non-cultivable B. burgdorferi following antibiotic treatment, as interpretation of xenodiagnosis depends upon timing and number of ticks tested, and the outcome of infection must be measured by analysis of multiple tissues at appropriate intervals.
