Prevalence of infections and co-infections with 6 pathogens in <i>Dermacentor reticulatus</i> ticks collected in eastern Poland

Abstract: Occurrence of co-infections with various pathogens in ixodid ticks creates a risk of increased severity of tick-borne diseases in humans and animals exposed to bite of the ticks carrying multiple pathogens. Accordingly, co-infections in ticks were subject of numerous analyses, but almost exclusively with regard to Ixodes ricinus complex whereas potential tick vectors belonging to other genera were much less studied. Taking into consideration the role of Dermacentor reticulatus in the transmission of various pa… Show more

“…The infection rate with T. gondii was significantly greater in males. In this same study, 8.5% of the examined ticks demonstrated dual infections, the most common were dual infections with T. gondii (1.6%) and Borrelia burgdorferi (1.3%), the most noteworthy being an association with Anaplasma phagocytophilium and with Babesia spp [44]. Data from 46,000 subjects, 3440 tested for toxoplasmosis and 7800 for borreliosis, in an internet survey searched for the associations of these infections with 22 mental health disorders and other indices of impaired mental health [46].…”

“…Moreover, these high-throughput screenings of TBPs in individual ticks have highlighted the co-occurrence of several pathogens in one tick, known as tick coinfections. Before the use of this novel technique, tick coinfections were evaluated by classical PCR, nested PCR or real-time PCR, and related publications focused in few pathogens, less than 10 different genera screened per publication [43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. After the year 2016, two publications have demonstrated the presence of up to five and four different pathogen species in I. ricinus female ticks collected in France and Romania, respectively, using this high-throughput system [9,20].…”

“…Unfortunately, only few publications are available regarding coinfection by bacteria and parasites or bacteria and viruses or parasites and viruses in ticks [49,50,52,54,60]. To solve this gap of information regarding inter-taxa coinfections, a system to detect simultaneously bacteria, parasites and viruses will be, without any doubt, an improvement of available tools.…”
