Borrelia miyamotoi is an emerging tick-borne pathogen. The vector is ticks of the Ixodes ricinus complex, causing relapsing fever- like disease and widespread in the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere. The present study documents the prevalence of B. miyamotoi in Ixodes ricinus ticks at four sites of the South Moravian Region. The spirochete B. miyamotoi was detected in a total of 10 samples from all four sites and all instars. The occurrence of B. miyamotoi in ticks in the Czech Republic poses a potential risk to public health.
伯氏疏螺旋体是一种新兴的蜱传病原体。其传播媒介为蓖麻硬蜱复合种的蜱虫，可引起回归热样疾病，并广泛存在于北半球的温带地区。本研究记录了在南摩拉维亚地区的四个地点，在蓖麻硬蜱中的伯氏疏螺旋体的流行情况。总共从四个地点和所有龄期的 10 个样本中检测到了伯氏疏螺旋体。该螺旋体在捷克共和国的蜱虫中的出现对公共卫生构成了潜在风险。
