Larvae of chigger mites Neotrombicula spp. (Acari: Trombiculidae) exhibited Borrelia but no Anaplasma infections: a field study including birds from Czech Carpathians as hosts of chiggers.

Original language description

Chigger mites were collected from 1,080 wild birds of 37 species at Certak (Czech Republic), in the western Carpathian Mountains, from 29 July to 24 September 2005. The prevalence of infestation with chigger larvae was 7%. A total of 325 chigger specimens from 10 bird species was identiWed and three chigger species were found: Neotrombicula autumnalis, N. carpathica, and N. inopinata, the latter two species being reported on new hosts. Neotrombicula carpathica is reported in the Czech Republic for the Wrst time. A total of 509 chigger larvae found on 79 host specimens were examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. DNA (fragments of the rrf (5S) - rrl (23S) intergenic spacer), and Anaplasma phagocytophilumDNA (epank1 gene). A fragment of speciWc Borrelia DNA was ampliWed through PCR in one sample, and the PCR product was further analyzed by reverse line blotting assay, whereby both genospecies of B. garinii and B. valaisiana were proved.

Výskyt bakterií rodů Borrelia a Anaplasma u larev roztočů rodu Neotrombicula: studie zahrnující jako hostitele neotrombikul volně žiljící ptáky západních Karpat v České republice.

Czech description

V září 2005 bylo vyšetřeno 1080 ptáků 37 druhů. Celkem bylo nalezeno 325 roztočů tří druhů rodu Neotrombicula parazitujících u 76 jedinců (7 %) 10 druhů ptáků. Výskyt bakterií Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. a Anaplasma phagocytophilum byl detekován pomocí PCR. Prokázán byl výskyt genospecií Borrelia garinii a B. valaisiana, zatímco Anaplasma phagocytophilum nelezena nebyla.
