Rickettsiae in ornithophilic ticks Ixodes arboricola and Ixodes lividus from the Czech Republic and Slovakia
Original language description
Ixodes arboricola and Ixodes lividus are ornitophilic nidiculous ticks. Birds are known as reservoirs of some bacterial pathogens. Rickettisae are obligate intracellular bacteria and some species are causative agents of severe human diseases. Tick-bornerickettsioses belong to the spotted fever group rickettsiae. The aim of this study was to find presence of rickettsiae in ticks I. arboricola and I. lividus from the Czech republic and Slovakia. Ticks I. arboricola were collected from pulli and nests at2 and 1 localities in the Czech republic and Slovakia, respectively. In total, 166 samples of I. arboricola were collected. Ticks I. lividus were sampled at 16 localities from nests in the Czech republic. In total, 1759 individuals were found. Randomly selected samples were tested by PCR targetting 2 rickettsial genes. All adults and 82% of nymphs of I. arboricola and 100% of I. lividus yielded positive results in both genes, so they contained spotted fever group rickettsiae DNA. Sequenc
