The SNAP 4Dx test identifies infection. The test’s C6 peptide is highly specific for Borrelia burgdorferi and is only present in the face of active infection. In addition, antibodies from currently available Lyme vaccines have been shown not to cross-react with SNAP Lyme antibody detection, so you can identify infection in vaccinated dogs.
