Prevalence of borreliae in ixodid ticks from a floodplain forest ecosystem.

Original language description

Host-seeking ixodid ticks were sampled in a floodplain forest ecosystem along the lower reaches of the Thaya (Dyje) river in South Moravia (Czech Republic) and Lower Austria during the period 1989-2002. The ticks were examined by dark-field microscopy for borreliae (Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the agent of Lyme borreliosis), and attempts were made to culture the spirochetes in BSK-H medium from preparations containing their high numbers. Isolated borreliae were identified by PCR-RFLP analysis usingprobes directed against ribosomal spacer genes. A total of 797 nymphal and 719 adult (391 female, 328 male) Ixodes ricinus were examined: 16.2% of nymphs, 28.6% of females and 29.0% of males were positive. Dermacentor reficulatus (70 females, 30 males)and Haemaphysalis concinna 12 nymphs, 8 females, 2 males) were negative for spirochetes. The overall prevalence rate of borreliae in /. ricinus from the floodplain forest is slightly higher than the mean European data (i.e., 14% for nymph
