Title: [A study of possible transovarial and transphase transmission of borreliae by the tick Dermacentor reticulatus (Ixodidae)]. Author: Rudakova SA, Matusheko EV, Iakimenko VV, Tokarevich NK, Andreĭchuk IuV. Journal: Parazitologiia; 2005; 39(5):427-32. PubMed ID: 16316061. Abstract: A study of possible transovarial and transphase transmission of borreliae by the tick Dermacentor reticulatus is carried out. The possibility of borreliae transmission by the ticks of this species being infected spontaneously as well as experimentally is shown in principle. Although borreliae are preserved in the organism of D. reticulatus, low values of the infestation are established in the different stages of D. reticulatus development and in all steps of the study. D. reticulatus may be involved in the process of borreliae circulation in natural foci of tick-born borreliosis, but this species has no a significant importance for the maintenance of it.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
