摘要: Migratory birds act as hosts and long-distance vectors for several tick-borne infectious agents. Here, feeding Ixodes ticks were collected from migratory during the autumn migration period in Latvia screened presence of epidemiologically important non-viral pathogens. A total 93 DNA samples (37 larvae 56 nymphs) removed 41 (order Passeriformes, 9 species) was tested Lyme borreliosis spirochaetes, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Rickettsia spp., Babesia spp. Borrelia burgdorferi detected 18% tick samples, a majority infected thrush (Turdus spp.) birds. Among ticks, valaisiana 41% cases, garinii 35%, mixed Bo. infection 24%. phagocytophilum 2% R. helvetica 12%, pathogens 4% ticks. these 3 species identified: Ba. divergens, microti, venatorum. Coinfection with different that included infections genospecies found 20% nymphal 3% larval These results suggest may support circulation spread medically significant zoonoses Europe.
