In total, 1000 Ixodes ricinus L. ticks were collected from a small recreational forest area in central Germany (Thuringia) and investigated for the presence of Borrelia spp., Babesia spp., Anaplasma spp., Rickettsia spp., Coxiella burnetii, and Francisella tularensis. Overall, 43.6% of the ticks were infected with at least one pathogen. In 8.4% of ticks double infections were detected, and 1.6% harbored more than two pathogens. In this study, we present data on the coexistence of established and emerging pathogens in questing nymphs and adult ticks in a recreational area in central Germany, indicating the need for further studies for a reliable risk assessment.
总共从德国中部（图林根州）的一个小型休闲林区采集了 1000 只蓖子硬蜱Ixodes ricinus L.，并调查了这些蜱虫携带的病原体情况，包括伯氏疏螺旋体Borrelia spp.、巴贝西虫Babesia spp.、无形体属 Anaplasma spp.、立克次体属 Rickettsia spp.、贝氏柯克斯体 Coxiella burnetii 和土拉弗朗西斯菌 Francisella tularensis。总体而言，有 43.6%的蜱虫至少感染了一种病原体。在 8.4%的蜱虫中检测到了双重感染，1.6%的蜱虫携带了两种以上的病原体。在这项研究中，我们提供了在德国中部一个休闲区中，处于游离状态的若虫和成年蜱虫中，已确立和新兴病原体共存的数据，这表明需要进一步研究，以进行可靠的风险评估。
