| diversionary role of hoofed game in the transmission of lyme disease spirochetes. | to determine whether the presence of ungulates may inhibit transmission of the agent of lyme disease (borrelia burgdorferi) while promoting the abundance of its european vector tick (ixodes ricinus), we compared the feeding density of subadult ticks on roe deer (capreolus capreolus), red deer (cervus elaphus), fallow deer (dama dama), and wild sheep (ovis ammon) near berlin and in brandenburg state, germany. the prevalence of spirochetal infection in these ticks was compared with that in ticks s ... | 1993 | 8517488 |
| detection of the tick-borne encephalitis virus (tbev) in ticks in several federal "länder" of germany by means of the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)--characterization of the virus. | the aim of the present study was to analyse the current epidemiological situation with respect to tbe in the new federal "länder" of germany and in saarland through detection of the tbev genome in unengorged ticks using an rt-pcr technique. 22,273 ticks (ixodes ricinus) were collected in the five new "länder" (and some in bavaria and baden-württemberg) and divided into 294 pools. it was possible to detect tbev rna in six pools of ticks from mecklenburg western-pomerania [4], brandenburg [1], thu ... | 1996 | 8923058 |
| evidence for an increased geographical distribution of dermacentor reticulatus in germany and detection of rickettsia sp. rpa4. | two studies were performed to elucidate the current distribution of the tick dermacentor reticulatus in germany. in the first one in 2003, a total of 365 dogs from 171 sites in the states of berlin and brandenburg was screened for ticks, and the corresponding outdoor sites that the dogs usually visited were searched for host-seeking ticks by the flagging method. a total of 1155 ticks was removed from the dogs. the majority were ixodes ricinus (88.5%), followed by d. reticulatus (9.1%) and i. hex ... | 2006 | 16524777 |
