Abstract

This study was conducted in order to determine the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ixodes ricinus ticks, which are the primary vectors of this spirochete, as well as to investigate the effect of /. ricinus population density on the prevalence of B. burgdorferi s.l. Ticks were collected by blanket dragging in 13 different forest regions of Sinop, Turkey, and its vicinity. Ticks were identified under a stereomicroscope. /. ricinus (n = 334), /. hexagonus (n = 5), Rhipicephalus spp. (n = 10), Dermacentor spp. (n = 7), and Hyalomma spp. (n = 5) were collected. Direct immunofluorescence was used to detect B. burgdorferi in collected ticks. B. burgdorferi was detected in 15.9% (53/334) of the /. ricinus specimens examined. This spirochete was not detected in /. hexagonus, Rhipicephalus spp., Dermacentor spp., or Hyalommaspp. The prevalence of B. burgdorferi infection in /. ricinus tended to be higher in regions where /. ricinus was most abundant.

Özet

Bu çalışmada temel vektörleri olan Ixodes ricinus kenelerinde Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato prevalansının tespit edilmesi ve /. ricinus yoğunluğunun B. burgdorferi s..1. prevalansı üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması hedeflenmiştir. Sinop ve çevresindeki 13 farklı ormanlık alanda havlu çekme yöntemiyle keneler toplandı. Stereomikroskop altında sınıflandırılmaları sonucunda bu kenelerin 334'ü /. ricinus, 5'i /. hexagonus, 10'u Rhipicephalus spp., 7si Dermacentor spp., 5'i Hyalomma spp. olarak tanımlandı. /. r/cmus'ların % 15,9'unda B. burgdorferi s.l tespit edilirken, /. hexagonus'larda ve Rhipicephalus spp., Dermacentor spp. and Hyalomma spp. gibi diğer sert kenelerde ise tespit edilmemiştir. Bir bölgede /. ricinus yoğunluğu arttıkça, /. ric/nus'lardaki B. burgdorferi s..1. prevalansı da artış göstermektedir.
