Occurrence of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> sensu lato, <i>Anaplasma phagocytophilum</i> and <i>Babesia microti</i> in <i>Ixodes ricinus</i> ticks collected from selected areas of Opolskie Province in south-west Poland

Abstract: Occurrence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia microti in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from selected areas of Abstract Introduction. Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) are vectors and/or reservoirs of many pathogens, i.e. Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia microti. These pathogens are ethiological agents of such diseases as Lyme borreliosis, human granulocytic anaplasmosis and human babesiosis. Objective. The aim of the study was to evaluate the r… Show more

“…Tick-borne diseases (TBD) are of increasing importance in veterinary and human medicine [1]. The number of pathogens transmitted by ticks is superior to that of any other arthropod and, in Europe and other temperate zones, are considered the most important arthropod zoonotic vector [2][3][4].…”

“…It is commonly known that ticks can be vectors and/or reservoirs of more than one pathogen. There are cases of co-occurrence of two or three pathogens in I. ricinus ticks collected from vegetation, but the percentage of such ticks in the population is very low 12 , 35 37 . Also, there are cases of such coinfection in ticks collected from domestic animals 8 , 33 .…”

“…The level of Anaplasma phagocytophilum infestation in Poland is generally low. Recent studies have shown the presence of this bacterium in 0.54% of Ixodes ricinus ticks in northern Poland, 1.01% in the north-western area and 4.5% in the south-western region [43,44,45].…”
