| borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and ehrlichia spp. in ixodes ticks from southern norway. | we report the results of a study of the prevalence of ehrlichia and borrelia species in 341 questing ixodes ricinus ticks from two locations in southern norway. the prevalences of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and ehrlichia spp. were, respectively, 16 and 11.5% at site 1 and 17 and 6% at site 2. prevalence and species composition of borrelia and ehrlichia varied with location and date of collection. the dominant borrelia species at both sites was borrelia afzelii, followed by borrelia burgdorf ... | 2001 | 11574588 |

| prevalence and diversity of lyme borreliosis bacteria in marine birds. | a potential role of seabirds in spreading lyme disease (lb) spirochetes over large spatial scales was suggested more than 10 years ago when borrelia garinii was observed in marine birds of both hemispheres. since then, there have been few studies examining the diversity of borrelia spp. circulating in seabirds, or the potential interaction between terrestrial and marine disease cycles. to explore these aspects, we tested 402 ixodes uriae ticks collected from five colonial seabird species by ampl ... | 2008 | 18394972 |
| transport of ixodes ricinus infected with borrelia species to norway by northward-migrating passerine birds. | birds are capable of transporting ticks and, consequently, tick-borne pathogens over long distances and across geographical barriers such as oceans and deserts. the purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of borrelia spp. in ticks transported by birds by using pcr. a total of 9768 northward-migrating passerine birds was examined for ticks at 4 bird observatories along the southern norwegian coast during their spring migration in 2003-2005. two of the bird observatories were located on ... | 2011 | 21771535 |
