a novel, fast-growing borrelia sp. isolated from the hard tick hyalomma aegyptium in turkey. | a novel, fast-growing spirochaete was isolated from the hard tick hyalomma aegyptium (family ixodidae, subfamily metastriata) using barbour-stoenner-kelly (bsk) ii medium. tick samples were taken during the summer of 2000 from the istanbul area in northwestern turkey. sixty-seven of 153 adults (44%) and 72 of 185 nymphs (39%) were infected with the novel spirochaete, whereas none of the 20 larvae examined were infected. the optimal growth temperature of the spirochaete in bsk ii medium was 34-37 ... | 2003 | 12949178 |
borrelia turcica sp. nov., isolated from the hard tick hyalomma aegyptium in turkey. | previously, a novel, fast-growing spirochaete was isolated from the hard tick hyalomma aegyptium, which infests tortoises (testudo graeca), by using barbour-stoenner-kelly (bsk) ii medium; the tick samples were taken from the istanbul area in northwestern turkey [güner et al. (2003). microbiology 149, 2539-2544]. here is presented a detailed characterization of the spirochaete. electron microscopy revealed that strain ist7t is morphologically similar to other spirochaetes of the genus borrelia a ... | 2004 | 15388724 |
