| [additional observations to the biology of hepatozoon erhardovae krampitz 1964 in bank voles from the south-western styria and from areas around the neusiedlersee (burgenland) (author's transl)]. | the incidence of hepatozoon erhardovae in the blood of bank voles (clethrionomys glareolus) captured in the investigated areas is examined. the biology of schizonts, their distribution in the lobes of the lung and the further development of natural infections in vertebrate hosts kept strictly free of ectoparasites are observed. the accumulation of gametocytes in larvae of the tick ixodes ricinus and of the mite neotrombicula zachvatkini after sucking on strongly infected bank voles is pointed ou ... | 1977 | 413270 |
| serological investigations of the hedgehog (erinaceus europaeus) in styria. 2. report. | from 1975 to 1982 investigations of 64 hedgehogs for anthropozoonoses and infectious diseases were carried out in all regions of styria, austria. the serological investigations revealed positive results against rickettsiosis, (q-fever and rmsf-groups antigen), (ornithosis, toxoplasmosis, listeriosis, against adenoviruses and herpesvirus). other studies by nosek et al. (1967); troger et al. (1976); kaaserer et al. (1976) and stunzner et al. (1976) report on the hedgehog (erinaceus europaeus) as i ... | 1989 | 2744467 |
| rare transmission mode of fsme (tick-borne encephalitis) by goat's milk. | an infection presumed to have been transmitted by raw cow's milk was reported in southern styria (remschnig locality), furthermore an fsme infection was demonstrated in two patients as having been transmitted by raw goat's milk. both patients (an elderly couple) had no left their house or garden and had nourished themselves mainly with goat's milk. neither patient had evidence of tick bites. the goats were severely parasitized with ixodes ricinus; the place of dwelling lies in an fsme-natural fo ... | 1989 | 2744469 |
| tick-borne encephalitis virus activity in styria, austria. | from 3,404 ixodes ricinus ticks collected in 12 localities of styria, austria in 1990, 15 tick-borne encephalitis (tbe) virus isolates were recovered. minimal field infection rate reached 4.4 virus containing ticks out of 1,000 collected ticks. five isolates of tbe virus were obtained from target organs of apodemus flavicollis trapped in locality wagnitz. in a serosurvey based on virus neutralizing antibodies high prevalence of tbe virus was demonstrated in a. flavicollis (47.9%) and clethrionom ... | 1993 | 8105665 |
| prevalence of borrelia burgdorferi s.i. in ixodes ricinus ticks from styria (austria) and species identification by pcr-rflp analysis. | a total of 1163 i. ricinus ticks were collected in 3 different regions (15 localities) in styria (austria) in june 1997 and examined for the presence of spirochetes by dark field microscopy. the mean infection rate was 20.8%. among 310 adults, 24.2% were positive and among 853 nymphs, 19.6% were positive. all 15 collection areas were shown to harbour infected nymphs with a positivity rate ranging from 5.8% (3/52) to 32.1% (18/56). isolation attempts in bskii medium resulted in 29 isolates. speci ... | 1998 | 9987185 |
| species identification of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato from tick and human isolates in styria (austria) by pcr-rflp analysis. | seventy-one isolates of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (b.b.s.l.) derived from ixodes ricinus ticks (50 strains) and patients (21 strains) were characterised by pcr-rlfp analysis. in four cases the human isolates were obtained from the cerebrospinal fluid (csf) of patients with clinical symptoms of neuroborreliosis and in 17 cases from skin biopsies of patients with dermatological manifestation of lyme borreliosis. ixodes ricinus isolates originated from 14 localities in three regions (mur vall ... | 1999 | 10666817 |
| prevalence of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in the tick ixodes ricinus in the styrian mountains of austria. | a total of 691 ixodes ricinus (22 male, 39 female, 501 nymphs and 129 larvae), the tick vector of lyme borreliosis, were collected by flagging from vegetation in 11 areas at altitudes between 789 m and 1350 m above sea level in mixed woodland with pasture land (cattle) in the province of styria in austria. the ticks were individually examined for presence of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato by dark-field microscopy and 107 of them by real-time pcr. attempts to cultivate borreliae were made in bsk ... | 2006 | 17160607 |
