| Sammendrag: | A total of 1559 unfed Ixodes ricinus (L., 1758) ticks were collected from the
vegetation by flagging in 18 locations of Lithuania. The ticks were tested
individually for the presence of spirochetes using polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) techniques able to identify Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s. l.). The
overall prevalence of B. burgdorferi s. l. infection by PCR was shown to be
13.4%. Both nymph and adult stages were infected. There was no significant
difference in the prevalence of B. burgdorferi s. l. in female compared to
male (p = 0.355). Arrangement of data according to landscape type into 3
groups (group I – agricultural land; group II – pine forest; group III – deciduous
and mixed forest) showed that differences in the prevalence of B.
burgdorferi s. l. among these groups are significant. There was no correlation
between the prevalence of B. burgdorferi s. l. in ticks and geographical areas
in Lithuania. |
