摘要: In the years 2000 and 2001, we sampled ticks in order to establish distribution of Ixodes ricinus province Belluno; 5987 tick samples from 244 sites throughout were gathered, by dragging for a 5-min period. 40 sites, seasonal variations cycle stages parasites studied at monthly intervals March September. A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used identify tick-infected sites. Of 1931 individual ticks, 8.23% positive Borrelia burgdorferi, 4.4% Ehrlichia, 1.6% Rickettsia, Babesia. The co-presence Ehrlichia (1.2%) Babesia (0.5%), Borrelia, Rickettsia (0.1%) also found.
