| [blood parasites of small wild mammals in steiermark and burgenland]. | a total of 488 wild small mammals (16 species) trapped in two federate units of austria, steiermark and burgenland, were examined on the presence of blood parasites. in steiermark grahamelles were detected in neomys fodiens, clethrionomys glareolus, microtus arvalis, m. agrestis, apodemus flavicollis and a. sylvaticus, while trypanosoma evotomys and hepatozoon erhardovae were found in c. glareolus, and babesia microti in pitymys subterraneus and m. agrestis. in burgenland grahamelles were demons ... | 1980 | 6778802 |
| factors affecting the component community structure of haemoparasites in common voles ( microtus arvalis) from the mazury lake district region of poland. | the prevalence and abundance of infections with haemoparasites were studied over a 4-year period in microtus arvalis (common vole, n =321) sampled from fallow grassland sites in north-eastern poland. total species richness was five (prevalence= haemobartonella sp. 63.9%, bartonella spp. 27.7%, babesia microti 9.0%, trypanosoma sp. 8.4% and and hepatozoon lavieri 3.1%) with 76.9% of the voles carrying at least one species and a mean infracommunity species richness of 1.1. variation in species ric ... | 2004 | 14714180 |
| zoonotic reservoir of babesia microti in poland. | babesiosis is as one of the emerging human and animal diseases transmitted by ticks. it is caused intraerythrocytic parasites of the genus babesia. current evidence of human babesiosis suggests that the majority of cases are involved by babesia divergens and babesia microti piroplasms. as zoonotic reservoir of b. microti serve small mammals--insectivores and rodents. the occurrence of this parasite in natural environment in poland is documented for various regions, in the wide range of mammal ho ... | 2004 | 15787199 |
| babesia microti: prevalence in wild rodents and ixodes ricinus ticks from the mazury lakes district of north-eastern poland. | infections of babesia microti (apicomplexa, piroplasmida), a common erythroparasitic protozoon of holarctic rodents, are not widely acknowledged in poland. the presence of this parasite in various species of wild rodents has been well documented throughout the northern temperate zone of north america, europe, and eurasia. however, human babesiosis attributable to infection with b. microti has been reported only from the north-eastern and upper midwestern united states and japan. we recently carr ... | 2006 | 16524774 |
| molecular survey of zoonotic agents in rodents and other small mammals in croatia. | croatia is a focus for many rodent-borne zoonosis. here, we report a survey of 242 rodents and small mammals, including 43 myodes glareolus, 131 apodemus flavicollis, 53 apodemus agrarius, three apodemus sylvaticus, six sorex araneus, four microtus arvalis, one microtus agrestis, and one muscardinus avellanarius, collected at eight sites in croatia over an 8-year period. multiplex masstag polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was used for detection of borrelia, rickettsia, bartonella, babesia, ehrlich ... | 2016 | 26711522 |
| molecular examinations of babesia microti in rodents and rodent-attached ticks from urban and sylvatic habitats in germany. | small mammals serve as reservoir hosts for tick-borne pathogens, especially for those which are not transmitted transovarially in ticks - such as babesia microti. molecular investigations on the prevalence of b. microti in wild small mammals and on attached ticks from differently structured areas may provide information on the circulation of b. microti in different ecological niches. in 2012 and 2013, 622 rodents (396 myodes glareolus, 178 apodemus flavicollis, 36 apodemus sylvaticus, 4 apodemus ... | 2015 | 25922232 |
| prevalence, genetic identity and vertical transmission of babesia microti in three naturally infected species of vole, microtus spp. (cricetidae). | vertical transmission is one of the transmission routes for babesia microti, the causative agent of the zoonotic disease, babesiosis. congenital babesia invasions have been recorded in laboratory mice, dogs and humans. the aim of our study was to determine if vertical transmission of b. microti occurs in naturally-infected reservoir hosts of the genus microtus. | 2017 | 28166832 |
| the occurrence of babesiasis affecting small terrestrial mammals and the importance of this zoonosis in europe. | a short survey is given of the occurrence of babesiasis affecting small terrestrial mammals in some parts of europe. results obtained in studies of 7,038 small terrestrial mammals (42 species) from czechoslovakia, austria, hungary, yugoslavia and bulgaria, show the distribution of babesia microti in these countries. the authors found babesias in the following host species: neomys anomalus, clethrionomys glareolus. microtus arvalis, m. agrestis, apodemus agratius, a. flavicollis, a. sylvaticus an ... | 1977 | 903030 |
