摘要: Blackbirds (Turdus merula) and song thrushes philomelos) were found to carry 95% of all spirochete-infected tick larvae among 40 bird species captured in Central Europe. More than 90% the infections typed as Borrelia garinii valaisiana. We conclude that are key players maintenance these spirochete this region
