To assess the potential risk for tick-borne agents, Ixodes ricinus were collected from 2 sites in northwestern Poland. The ticks were tested by polymerase chain reaction for coinfection with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s. l.), human granulocytic ehrlichiosis (HGE) agent, and Babesia microti. Of the 533 processed ticks, 16.7% were positive for B. burgdorferi s. l., 13.3% for B. microti, and 4.5% for the HGE agent. Twenty ticks were coinfected with 2 or 3 of the pathogens.
为评估蜱传病原体的潜在风险，从波兰西北部的2个地点采集了蓖麻硬蜱。通过聚合酶链反应检测蜱是否同时感染伯氏疏螺旋体狭义种（Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato，s.l.）、人粒细胞埃立克体病（HGE）病原体和微小巴贝斯虫（Babesia microti）。在533只处理过的蜱中，16.7%的蜱伯氏疏螺旋体狭义种检测呈阳性，13.3%的蜱微小巴贝斯虫检测呈阳性，4.5%的蜱HGE病原体检测呈阳性。20只蜱同时感染了2种或3种病原体。
