The aim of this study was to determine the potential risk of human exposure to tick-borne infection in a recreation areas in a spa town located in northern Poland. Questing and ticks were collected in the spring of 2018. Tick-borne microorganisms were detected by PCR. Species were identified based on RFLP and the sequencing of DNA. In total, 38.3% of the ticks (34.6% of and 48.6% of ) were infected. The prevalence was 14.9% for spp., 10.6% for spp. and 17.7% for spp. No was detected. Spirochaetes , and s.s. were detected only in ticks (20.2%). The differences in the infection rates of spp. between (7.7%) and (18.9%) were not significant. DNA of and were identified in both tick species. were detected in ticks. The prevalence of spp. was significantly higher in (37.8%) than that in (10.6%). was identified only in and in . Co-infections of at least two pathogens were recognized in 13% of positive ticks.
本研究的目的是确定位于波兰北部一个温泉小镇的休闲区中人类接触蜱传感染的潜在风险。2018年春季采集了游离蜱和蜱。通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测蜱传微生物。基于限制性片段长度多态性（RFLP）和DNA测序鉴定物种。总体而言，38.3%的蜱（硬蜱属的34.6%和璃眼蜱属的48.6%）被感染。硬蜱属物种的感染率为14.9%，血蜱属物种为10.6%，璃眼蜱属物种为17.7%。未检测到嗜吞噬细胞无形体。仅在硬蜱属蜱中检测到螺旋体伯氏疏螺旋体、伽氏疏螺旋体和狭义疏螺旋体（20.2%）。硬蜱属物种在篦子硬蜱（7.7%）和全沟硬蜱（18.9%）之间的感染率差异不显著。在两种蜱中均鉴定出伯氏疏螺旋体和伽氏疏螺旋体的DNA。在篦子硬蜱中检测到嗜吞噬细胞无形体。血蜱属物种在全沟硬蜱中的感染率（37.8%）显著高于篦子硬蜱（10.6%）。仅在全沟硬蜱中鉴定出嗜吞噬细胞无形体，在篦子硬蜱中鉴定出嗜吞噬细胞无形体和牛无形体。13%的阳性蜱中发现至少两种病原体的共感染。
