Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Current spirochaete infection identification and diagnostic strategies have important limitations. Recent development may allow for an improvement in diagnostic, screening and survey capabilities. The goal of this study is to evaluate blood, urine and fecal samples from a variety of sources and generate information on the occurrence and epidemiology of spirochetes in the general and at risk populations.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The intent of this protocol is to obtain blood, feces and urine samples from subjects with or without a suspected spirochaete infection, so these samples can be used in spirochaete-related scientific studies.

2. The subject must not weigh less than 110lbs.
3. If the subject will be contributing more that 60 ml of blood during an 8 (eight) week period, then the subject must not have donated red blood cells within the last 8 (eight) weeks.
4. If the Subject's health would be compromised by contributing up to 30ml of peripheral blood.
5. If in the opinion of the Investigator, the subject has any clinically significant medical diagnosis/conditions which would prevent participation.
