USING REAL-TIME PCR FOR URGENT DETECTION AND PROPHYLAXIS OF TICK-BORNE INFECTIONS

The urgent detection of tick-borne pathogens in attached ticks or in human blood followed by the prophylaxis of infection with specific immunoglobulin and/or antibiotics is one of the most reliable measures to prevent human disease. The aim of this work was to evaluate the usability of real-time PCR...

The highest prevalence of tick-borne infections was observed for I. persulcatus ticks - 6,9; 23,8; 6,9; and 11,9 % for TBEV, B.b.s.l., A. phagocytophillum and E. chaffeensis/E. muris respectively. The Dermacentor sp. ticks were less frequently infected with abovementioned pathogens - 3,0; 6,1; 3,0 and 9,1 % respectively. The prevalence of infection in blood samples was lowest and comprised 2,5; 4,2; 2,2 and 4,5 % respectively. Mixed infections were documented in 6,5 % of ticks and 0,7 % of human blood samples.

description The urgent detection of tick-borne pathogens in attached ticks or in human blood followed by the prophylaxis of infection with specific immunoglobulin and/or antibiotics is one of the most reliable measures to prevent human disease.
