Is it true that indirect ELISA tests can be used to detect antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, the pathogen that causes Lyme disease?

Yes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are widely used and validated in research and clinical diagnostics to detect serum antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease.
