| small mammals as reservoir hosts for borrelia in russia. | in 1992-1993, a total of 29 isolates of borrelia were obtained from small mammals captured in taiga forests of the perm' region: 26 isolates were obtained from clethrionomus glareolus and one each from c. rufocanus, microtus oeconomus, and apodemus sylvaticus. isolation of borrelia was performed by plating the animal material on bsk-ii medium. most isolates (86.2%) were obtained from the urinary bladder, the rest from the heart and spleen. according to the results of ifa with a set of monoclonal ... | 1995 | 7549164 |
| [spontaneous mixed infection in rodents with borrelia and leptospira]. | this study was performed in a natural itbb focus located in perm' region of russia. in 1993-1995, 73 root voles (microtus oeconomus), collected in the forests, were examined by means of inoculation of internal organs on bsk-ii medium. borrelia were found in 13 animals (17.8%). according to the results in rlfp analysis 11 isolates were classified as b. garinii, 1 as b. afzelii and 1 as mixture of b. garinii and b. afzelii. in one case leptospira, which was identified by pfge analysis as grippotyp ... | 1996 | 9026677 |
| [the isolation of borrelia from the tick ixodes trianguliceps (ixodidae) and the possible significance of this species in the epizootiology of ixodid tick-borne borrelioses]. | ixodes trianguliceps is a common tick species of the eurasian forest zone. these ticks live probably in natural foci of ixodid tick-borne borrelioses (itbb) from western europe to transbaikalia, but their role in circulation of corresponding pathogens remains unclear. this study was performed in a natural itbb focus located in the perm region of russia (near the urals), where borrelia garinii and b. afzelii circulate and i. persulcatus serves as their main vector. in july-august of 1994, 296 sma ... | 1996 | 8975209 |
