The aim of the study was to establish the role of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) as reservoirs of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and the role of Ixodes ricinus ticks as vectors of this pathogen in NorthWest Poland. Blood samples of 127 roe deer were collected between May and June 2004 and between September and December 2004. 51 of the 63 roe deer caught between May and June 2004 and 7 of the 64 roe deer caught between September and December 2004 were infested by I. ricinus ticks. 170 individuals of the common tick were collected from 45.7% of roe deer. PCR amplification of a fragment of the msp2 gene was used for detecting A. phagocytophilum DNA. Pathogen DNA was detected in 30 of the blood samples (23.6%) and in 10 ticks collected from the animals (5.9%). 28.6% of the roe deer caught between May and June 2004 and 18.75% of the roe deer caught between September and December 2004 were infected, but this difference was not significant. 5.3% of I. racinus ticks were infected by A. phagocytophilum. It is clear that C. capreolus is a significant reservoir of A. phagocytophilum in NorthWest Poland. In addition, I. ricinus is a significant vector in this area.
The aim of this study was to describe the state of infection of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus) by Bartonella sp. in North-Western Poland through PCR detection of Bartonella 16S-23S rRNA ITS region in isolates of animal tissues, and also to describe the genetic diversity of detected Bartonella species based on molecular analysis of ITS. The multiple alignment analysis of ITS sequences was carried out, and homology matrices and phylogenetic trees were constructed. The DNA of Bartonella sp. was detected in tissues of 45.6% (36/79) C. capreolus and of 50% (15/30) C. elaphus. Products of two different sizes were detected: 317 bp, characteristic for B. schoenbuchensis, and 198 bp, characteristic for B. bovis. The obtained results suggest that roe and red deer are potential reservoirs of Bartonella sp. Most of the analysed ITS sequences was not specific for one host species. In constructed phylogenetic trees, sequences obtained from roe and red deer clustered together. These results suggest a lack of host specificity of most detected B. schoenbuchensis and B. bovis intraspecies strains.
The aim of this study was to examine the participation of roe deer, red deer, wild boar, and sheep Ixodes ricinus ticks from the Puszcza Wkrzańska Forest in Anaplasma phagocytophilum developmental cycle. Detection of A. phagocytophilum DNA was carried out on tissues collected from game animals, ticks infecting them, and ticks collected from vegetation in the hunting area, using a set of primers enabling the amplification of the 334 base pairs fragment of msp2 gene. 42.4% of the shot roe deer (25/59) were infected by l. ricinus ticks, as well as 30% (6/20) of red deer and 4.8% (1/21) of wild boars. A. phagocytophilum DNA was detected in tissues of 45.8% (27/59) of the sampled roe deer, 65% (13/20) red deer, and 4.8% (1/21) wild boar, and in 11.6% of the ticks infecting roe deer (12/103), in 5% (1/20) of the ticks infecting red deer, and in 5.5% (11/200) of the ticks collected from the vegetation in the area. The results suggest that roe and red deer are probable reservoirs of A. phagocytophilum, while the wild boar plays little or no role in the propagation of this parasite.
The aim of this work was to examine if the game species from the north-western Poland, roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), red deer (Cervus elaphus) and wild boar (Sus scrofa), may be reservoir hosts of bacteria from the genus Bartonella, and whether the sheep tick (Ixodes ricinus) is their vector. To this end, the prevalence of Bartonella DNA in the tissues of these game species was measured, just as in sheep ticks (I. ricinus) infesting them, and ticks collected from plants in the hunting area. The prevalence of Bartonella DNA was 39% (23/59) in roe deer and 35% (7/20) in red deer. No Bartonella DNA was detected in any of the 21 wild boars. The presence of Bartonella DNAwas detected in 1.9% of ticks infesting roe deer (2/103), while no pathogen DNA was found in the 20 ticks infesting the red deer and the 3 ticks infesting wild boars, or the 200 ticks collected from plants. Amplicons of two different lengths were obtained; 198 bp, characteristic for B. bovis, and 317 bp, characteristic for B. schoenbuchensis, which were confirmed later by sequencing. The examined ruminants are probably the reservoir hosts of B. schoenbuchensis and B. bovis in the biotope of the Puszcza Wkrzańska Forest, and wild boars do not participate in the Bartonella propagation in the environment. I. ricinus is unlikely to be the main vector of Bartonella species detected in the examined roe deer and red deer; probably other bloodsucking arthropods, parasitizing wild ruminants, play this role.
The purpose of this study was to detect piroplasms, which are pathogens of veterinary and zoonotic importance in ticks, that were collected from ponies and field vegetation and to determine the role of Shetland ponies as potential reservoir hosts for piroplasms. A total of 1737 feeding and 371 questing Ixodes ricinus collected from horses or vegetation were tested for the presence of Babesia and Theileria DNA. Piroplasm 18S rRNA gene amplification was conducted, and the obtained amplicons were sequenced. Babesia DNA was detected in only three ticks (one tick collected from a pony and two collected from vegetation), and all of the obtained sequences had 100% similarity to B. divergens. Theileria DNA was not present in the examined ticks. Thus, the above results indicate that ponies are probably not essential hosts for the detected species of piroplasms. Piroplasm species typical for horses (Babesia caballi and Theileria equi) were not detected because I. ricinus is not their vector. The low infection rate of I. ricinus with B. divergens shows that the disease risk for the local horse population and people associated with pony horses is low, but it demonstrates their possible role as a source of human infection in northern Poland.
Capreolus capreolus and Ixodes ricinus as a reservoir of Bartonella in north-western Poland. The purpose of the study was to assess the prevalence Bartonella in Capreolus capreolus from north-western Poland forest. Supplementary, ticks infesting roe deer were also screened in order to ascertain their role as vectors and reservoirs of Bartonella. The samples of blood from 98 animals from north-western Poland were PCR-screened. Bartonella DNA was detected by using primers complementary to the intergenic spacer (ITS) between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes, which is used for identification of over a dozen species of this genus. Products of three different sizes were detected: 230 bp and 290 bp may represent two strains of B. capreoli, and 190 bp may be identify as B. bovis. All three amplicons were detected in blood, the 290 bp fragment from B. capreoli was present only in ticks, Ixodes ricinus. Generally, Bartonella infection in C. capreolus amounted to 21.4% of individuals, but was much higher during the autumn-winter seasons (62%), than in spring (4.3%). The results show that C. capreolus may be a reservoir for at least two species, i.e. B. capreoli and B. bovis, and probably do not cause persistent infection in roe deer. The high percentage of infested individuals during spring (84%) and infection detected in I. ricinus (5.2%) show that ticks are reservoir and vector of Bartonella.
