Occurrence of Borrelia and Borreliella species in Ixodes ricinus collected from roe deer in northwestern Spain

Abstract: Ixodes ricinus, comprising the predominant tick species in Europe, can transmit important human pathogens, including Borreliella spp., the causal agent of Lyme borreliosis. One hundred and seventy five roe deer hunted in two areas (plateau and mountain) of Galicia (northwest Spain) were examined for the presence of ticks; all roe deer were infested by I. ricinus. Nymphs (n = 1000), males (n = 1449) and females (n = 1000) of I. ricinus were analysed in pools of up to 10 ticks to detect both Borreliella and Borr… Show more

“…Only limited data are available on Borrelia spirochete in ticks isolated from wild animals [ 6 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. In the current study, the Borrelia infection rate was low, i.e., 3.3%, which is in line with the 3.4% reported from Spain [ 32 ]. In north-eastern Poland, for comparison, 31.6% of ticks isolated from dogs in urban areas, and 27.4% of questing ticks were infected with Borrelia [ 11 , 34 ].…”

“…Among the diseases caused by bacteria, borreliosis is an infectious illness caused by spirochetes from the genus Borrelia, transmitted by ticks to animals and/or humans 2 . Relapsing fever (RF), a type of borreliosis, is characterized by a severe disease that progresses rapidly with recurring cycles of fever.…”
