BACKGROUND
Lyme disease is a widespread cosmopolitan zoonosis caused by species belonging to the genus Borrelia. It is transmitted from animal reservoir hosts to humans through hard - ticks of genus Ixodes which are vectors of the disease.
CASE PRESENTATION
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato infection was identified in a marbled polecat, Vormela peregusna, and two European minks, Mustela lutreola, from Romania, by PCR. RFLP revealed the presence of a single genospecies, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto.
CONCLUSIONS
This is the first report of the Lyme disease spirochetes in the two mentioned hosts.
背景
莱姆病是一种广泛流行的世界性动物传染病，由属于伯氏疏螺旋体属的物种引起。它通过硬蜱属的疾病载体传播给人类，硬蜱属的动物宿主是人类。
病例介绍
通过 PCR 从罗马尼亚的一只大理石貂和两只欧洲水貂（ Mustela lutreola ）中鉴定出伯氏疏螺旋体属的 Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato 感染。RFLP 显示存在单一的种， Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto 。
结论
这是首次在上述两种宿主中报告莱姆病螺旋体。
