Detection and prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in Ixodes ricinus ticks in eastern Poland.
Introduction: Anaplasma phagocytophilum are tick-borne bacteria affecting both human and animal health. The aim of the study was to examine the prevalence of A. phagocytophilum in questing I. ricinus ticks collected in Lublin Province, eastern Poland.
Material and methods: Ticks were collected by the flagging method. Total DNA from ticks was extracted by boiling in ammonium hydroxide. Detection of A. phagocytophilum was performed by amplifying a fragment of the 16S rDNA gene.
Results: Overall, 626 I. ricinus ticks were tested for the presence of A. phagocytophilum DNA. The prevalence of the pathogenic bacteria was 1.28%. The occurrence of A. phagocytophilum among adults was 1.8%, whereas none of the collected I. ricinus nymphs were infected.
Conclusions: The study revealed the presence of A. phagocytophilum in I. ricinus in eastern Poland, which constitutes a potential health risk for residents, tourists, forestry, and agricultural workers.
