We offer advanced diagnostic test solutions that go beyond the limits of detection for low- abundance pathogens.

We test for a range of flea and tick-borne pathogens, specializing in Bartonella, Borrelia, and Babesia. Galaxy Diagnostics is building awareness about Bartonella as a potential cause of disease in animals and humans. The purpose of this page is to share the latest Bartonella research and other developments related to this important area of emerging infectious disease. The CDC reports that over 60% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic (from animals). Vectors (insects and arthropods) play an important role in transmission of zoonotic diseases. The One World, One Health Initiative was launched recently to focus attention on the intersections between human health, animal health, and the health of the environment. It is critical that medical practitioners and public health workers become aware of the risk factors and clinical symptoms associated with all zoonotic infections, including the ones linked to chronic disorders.

The right diagnosis can change the entire clinical trajectory.

Too often, symptoms are managed without actually identifying the underlying causes, including vector-borne infections.

This case is an important reminder of why accurate detection of vector-borne infections matters, and why clinicians need tools that look deeper.

At Galaxy Diagnostics, we believe better detection supports more informed decisions by doctors, and better lives for patients.

A tick is rarely carrying a single pathogen – and that means those bites are transferring more than just Borrelia.

Multiple infections are often present at once, each influencing symptoms, and response to treatment.

Focusing on only one organism risks missing the full clinical picture. When providers have all the puzzle pieces they need, it makes the next steps a lot clearer.

Vector-borne illness should be approached with the complexity it deserves.

02/24/2026

The first step often isn’t a test. It’s being heard.

When asked what matters most in determining a vector-borne infection, Galaxy Diagnostics CEO doesn’t hesitate: it starts with finding a doctor who will listen.

Vector-borne diseases including Lyme and coinfections are rarely simple. They need the right clinical partner and accurate, reliable lab data to figure out what’s really going on.

Trusted clinicians, thoughtful investigation, and high-quality diagnostics make all the difference.

Smiling because we love what we do (and we really do)!

Our team is made up of scientists first and innovators always. Together, we have the honor to spend every day advancing the standard of care for vector-borne disease diagnostics and supporting better outcomes for patients and clinicians alike.

Missed Lyme co-infections are just one of the many reasons why so many patients stay stuck for so long.

In a survey of 3,000 chronic Lyme patients, nearly 1 in 3 reported lab confirmed Bartonella infection. That’s not a small number.

Bartonella can impact the brain, nerves, and blood vessels – and without targeted testing, it’s often overlooked.

When patients and providers know to actively look for co-infections, fewer people slip through the cracks.

Breakthrough research only changes care when it is translated responsibly into the clinic.

Galaxy Diagnostics exists to make that translation possible.

Today, we’re formalizing an exclusive licensing agreement with Virginia Tech to advance Dr. Brandon Jutras’s research on Borrelia peptidoglycan.

This collaboration reflects how we advance innovation in vector-borne disease diagnostics:

• Partner with leading academic experts
• Preserve scientific rigor throughout development
• Translate discovery into clinically actionable testing, responsibly and transparently

For more than two decades, Galaxy has focused on bringing evidence-led diagnostics from the bench into real-world clinical workflows. Our current testing portfolio remains foundational to that mission, and this collaboration builds on that work.

This is another step in our role as the commercialization partner for innovation in stealth pathogen diagnostics.

We’re proud to work alongside Dr. Jutras and Virginia Tech as we continue strengthening the pathway from discovery to clinical practice.

Incredible work from our cofounder Dr. Ed Breitschwerdt. We’re so proud of have him on our team!

Could a common antibiotic influence long-term brain health?

A surprising finding in psychiatric research: doxycycline use in adolescence was linked to a lower long-term risk of schizophrenia.

Researchers examined health data from tens of thousands of adolescents who received psychiatric care. They found that those prescribed doxycycline had a lower chance of developing schizophrenia in the years that followed than teens who were given other antibiotics.

The study doesn’t prove that doxycycline prevents schizophrenia, but it does point to something important: the immune system and brain development are deeply connected.

When it comes to tick-borne disease, detection matters. Limitations in standard testing shouldn’t be mistaken for a complete picture.

Here at Galaxy, we’re committed to looking deeper so patients and providers get answers they can trust.

01/20/2026

This year, we’re leaving these tick-borne disease myths in the dust! 🚫

Swipe through to uncover the facts behind some of the most common misunderstandings.

At Galaxy Diagnostics, we’re committed to advancing clarity around tick-borne diseases so patients and providers can make informed decisions and move toward better outcomes.

Let’s make 2026 the year of better science, better testing, and better awareness.

01/16/2026

Behind every breakthrough result is a team committed to pushing diagnostic science forward.

At Galaxy Diagnostics, our lab is where innovation meets precision.

Our scientists work daily to refine advanced enrichment and molecular detection methods designed to uncover stealth pathogens – like Bartonella and other hard-to-detect microbes – that often evade traditional testing.

We’re proud of the work this team does to bring answers, and hope to patients and providers.

01/15/2026

Accurate answers change everything. We’re grateful to work with clinicians who use our advanced technologies to uncover stealth pathogens and support more informed patient care.

Thank you, Dr. Marian, for your commitment to precision diagnostics and patient-centered care.
