| [parasitic arthropods from some species of wild mammals from middle pomerania]. | a total of 109 mammals belonging to 3 wild species: cervus elaphus, capreolus capreolus and sus scrofa were examined post mortem after delivery by hunters to the warehouses of the "jägerprodukt" company in sławno and osowo, and of the "las" company in sławsko (middle pomerania, poland). three species of ectoparasites were collected: ixodes ricinus, lipoptena cervi and haematopinus apri. the highest frequency and the highest index of infestation with ectoparasites were observed in cause of c. ela ... | 1994 | 8023500 |
| [the prevalence of ixodes ricinus ticks (acari, ixodidae) in the forested areas of gdansk, sopot, and gdynia and their infection rate with borrelia burgdorferi spirochetes]. | data are presented on the variable patterns on the seasonal activity of ixodes ricinus questing on vegetation in 6 study sites in the forested areas of gdańsk, sopot and gdynia in 1993-1995. a total of 8992 specimens collected there show that ticks frequently occupy habitats closely associated with man. out of them 5775 (4328 nymphs, 713 females and 680 males) collected in 1994 and 1995 were examined individually for borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato-the etiologic agent of lyme borreliosis-using i ... | 1997 | 9333838 |
| coinfection of ixodes ricinus (acari: ixodidae) in northern poland with the agents of lyme borreliosis (lb) and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (hge). | adult ixodes ricinus ticks were collected from pomerania province, northern poland, to determine the presence of infection with agents of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (hge) and lyme borreliosis by using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr). of the 424 ticks 19.2% and 11.6% contained ehrlichiae and spirochetes, respectively. frequency of single infection with the hge agent was 63/424 while frequency of single infection with borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato was 28/424. as many as 21/424 ticks (5% ... | 2002 | 12141746 |
| [occurrence of genomic species of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in populations of ixodes ricinus ticks from west pomerania]. | the aim of this study was to determine the incidence of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato infections in ixodes ricinus ticks from recreational areas of the province of west pomerania. ticks (nymphs and adults) were collected between april and october 2000 and 2001 from 10 sampling sites. the presence of the spirochete, borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, was confirmed with an indirect fluorescence assay (ifa) and the polymerase chain reaction (pcr). in addition, a nested pcr technique was used to det ... | 2002 | 14601491 |
| ixodes ricinus as a vector of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, anaplasma phagocytophilum and babesia microti in urban and suburban forests. | in the suburban and urban forests in the cities of gdansk, sopot and gdynia (northern poland), ixodes ricinus ticks should be considered as the vector of pathogenic microorganisms that may cause significant diseases in wild and domestic animals and humans. these microorganisms include etiologic agents of lyme disease, human anaplasmosis (ha) and babesiosis: borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, anaplasma phagocytophilum and babesia microti, respectively. dna extracts from 701 ticks collected in 15 lo ... | 2004 | 15236507 |
| [participation of ixodes ricinus developmental stages in transmission of anaplasma (ehrlichia) phagocytophila]. | the present study constitutes a survey on the prevalence of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis agent, anaplasma (ehrlichia) phagocytophila, infecting ticks, ixodes ricinus. i. ricinus were collected in the spring and autumn of the years 2000-2002 in western pomerania (poland), on vegetation using cloth drags. in all, 3340 individuals of i. ricinus were collected from the sampling sites. this total comprised of 511 females, 525 males, and 1998 nymphs. the prevalence of this pathogen in ticks was ass ... | 2004 | 16865969 |
| [parasitic acari of wild boar (sus scrofa l.) from pomerania lake district]. | in years 1994-1998, 553 wild boars (sus scrofa l.) were examined in the area of north-western part of poland. four species of parasitic acarids were found: demodex phylloides, sarcoptes scabiei, dermacentor reticulatus and ixodes ricinus. the highest infestation was observed in the case of d. phylloides (30%), the next from the top was presented by ixodes ricinus (17%). s. scabiei and d. reticulatus occured seldom. | 2000 | 16886367 |
| [occurrence of babesia microti in ticks ixodes ricinus on selected areas of western pomerania]. | the aim of present study was to evaluate acquisition risk of babesiosis in human population exposed to ticks ixodes ricinus by examination of babesia microti dna occurrence in ticks of all development stages. the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was applied to estimate the occurrence of dna babesia microti in ixodes ricinus. the bab1 and bab4 primers were used to amplify fragment. 238bp in length, of 18s rrna gene for small ribosomal subunit. amplicons were electroforeticaly separated in agarose ... | 2003 | 16889031 |
| the first detection of babesia eu1 and babesia canis canis in ixodes ricinus ticks (acari, ixodidae) collected in urban and rural areas in northern poland. | ixodes ricinus, the most commonly observed tick species in poland, is a known vector of such pathogenic microorganisms as tbe viruses, borrelia burgdoferi sensu lato, anaplasma phagocytophilum, rickettsia helvetica, babesia divergens and b. microti in our country. our study aimed to find out whether this tick can also transmit other babesiae of medical and veterinary importance. dna extracts of 1392 ticks (314 nymphs, 552 male and 526 female ticks) collected in urban and rural areas in the pomer ... | 2009 | 19899616 |
