Abstract

Babesia EU1, a potentially important emerging zoonotic pathogen, already detected in ticks and wild ruminants of different European Countries, was found in three pools of Ixodes ricinus nymphs in three different sites located in a single District of north-eastern Italy. Totally 356 ticks (60 pools) were collected from the environment during a surveillance activity in the year 2006. Babesia EU1 estimated individual tick prevalence in the area is 0.85%. The finding that also in northern Italy the tick population is carrying Babesia EU1 suggests a wide geographical spreading of this zoonotic pathogen in Europe.

摘要

疟原虫 EU1 是一种潜在的重要新兴人畜共患病病原体，已在不同欧洲国家的蜱和野生反刍动物中检测到，在意大利东北部一个地区的三个不同地点的三个硬蜱若虫池中发现。总共从环境中收集了 356 只蜱（60 个池），这是 2006 年进行监测活动时采集的。疟原虫 EU1 在该地区的估计个体蜱虫流行率为 0.85%。这一发现表明，这种人畜共患病病原体在欧洲的地理分布范围很广，也表明意大利北部的蜱虫种群携带疟原虫 EU1。
