The potential risk of exposure to Borrelia garinii, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia microti in the Wolinski National Park (north-western Poland)

Abstract Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodida) is the main vector in Europe of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia microti. Wolinski National Park (WNP) is situated by the Baltic Sea and is frequently visited by tourists. The aim of the study was to determine the potenti...
