ricettsioses studies. 2. natural foci of rickettsioses in east slovakia.natural foci of q fever and of spotted fever group rickettsiae in the kosice district of east slovakia are described and discussed. it was established that the natural focus of q fever was a secondary one. cattle were observed to be the main source of human infection and a high proportion of synanthropic rodents was found to be infested with coxiella burnetii. the natural focus of spotted fever group rickettsiae was shown to be of a primary character, such rickettsiae circulating among ticks and ...19761085666
study of rickettsioses in slovakia. i. coxiella burneti and rickettsiae of the spotted fever (sf) group in ticks and serological surveys in animals and humans in certain selected localities in the lucenec and v. krtís districts.a study of the natural focus character of q fever and the rickettsiosis caused by organisms of the sf group carried out in 1971-1973 in 7 selected villages in the lucenec district and in a few control villages in the v. krtis district, produced the following results: among a total number of 2,200 ticks belonging to the species dermacentor marginatus, ixodes ricinus and haemaphysalis punctata and tested for the presence of rickettsial organisms by the haemocyte test, c. burneti was detected in 8 ...19751092754
neurosecretory system of the american dog tick, dermacentor variabilis (acari: ixodidae). ii. distribution of secretory cell types, axonal pathways and putative neurohemal-neuroendocrine associations; comparative histological and anatomical implications.histological observations using specialized techniques reveal neurosecretory cells in 18 centers throughout the rind (cortex) of the central nerve mass or synganglion of dermacentor variabilis. many cells contribute to complicated networks of neurosecretory pathways and tracts in pre- and post-esophageal portions of the synganglion. the four types of neurohemal-neuroendocrine associations found in dermacentor resemble structures found in soft ticks (argasidae) and in other arachnida, but are mor ...19751117459
