    Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the tick Ixodes ricinus in the Styrian mountains of Austria

  • Original language description

    Ixodes ricinus ticks (22 male, 39 female, 501 nymphs, 129 larvae) were collected from vegetation in 11 areas at altitudes between 789 m and 1350 m a.s.l. in mixed woodland with pasture land (cattle) in the Austrian province Styria, and examined for presence of Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. by darkfield microscopy and real-time PCR. Prevalence rate of borreliae in ticks was 9.1% in males, 17.9% in females, 10.4% in nymphs, and 0% in larvae. The infection rate of I. ricinus collected at the highest altitude in this study, 1350 m a.s.l. (Gaberl) ? and at the same time the highest one reported to be infected in Europe ? was 11.1% in adults and 5.3% in nymphs. Twelve cultures were isolated in BSK-H medium: 8 were B. afzelii and 4 B. garini; 3 additional positive results found by PCR (negative by culture) were identified (2 B. afzelii, 1 B. garinii).

    Prevalence Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato v klíštěti Ixodes ricinus na horách v rakouském Štýrsku

  • Czech description

    Klíšťata Ixodes ricinus (22 samců, 39 samic, 501 nymf, 129 larev) byla sbírána z vegetace na 11 lokalitách v nadmořské výšce 789 až 1350 m a.s.l. ve smíšeném ekosystému lesa a pastvin (skot) v rakouském Štýrsku, a vyšetřena na přítomnost Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. temnopolní mikroskopií a RT-PCR. Prevalence borrelií v klíšťatech byla 9,1% u samců, 17,9% u samic, 10,4% u nymf, a 0% u larev. Infikovanost klíšťat I. ricinus sbíraných na nejvýše položené studijní lokalitě 1350 m a.s.l. (Gaberl), současně představující nejvýše položené infikované místo v Evropě, byla 11,1% u dospělců a 5,3% u nymf. V médiu BSK-H bylo izolováno celkem 12 kultur borrelií: 8 B. afzelii a 4 B. garini; 3 další pozitivní výsledky byly zjištěny pomocí PCR (negativní při kultivaci):2 B. afzelii a 1 B. garinii.
