Abstract

Rodents and insectivores are significant reservoirs of many zoonotic pathogens, contributing to the transmission of diseases affecting human and animal health. This study investigated the prevalence and diversity of vector-borne pathogens in small mammals within the High Tatras region of Slovakia, an area with substantial recreational activity and protected zones. A total of 156 small mammals, comprising ten species, were screened for pathogens such as spp., spp., , and spp. The prevalence of vector-borne pathogens in the studied animals reached 74.35%, with spp. being the most common, identified in 57.7% of the animals, particularly in and . () was detected in 11.5% of the rodents, with identified as the predominant species. was found in and , with a total prevalence of 3.2%. The lowest was the prevalence of reaching 1.9%. This study provides evidence of the significant role of rodents as reservoirs of vector-borne pathogens in protected areas of the High Tatras region and Tatra National Park.

摘要

啮齿动物和食虫动物是许多人畜共患病原体的重要宿主，它们会传播影响人类和动物健康的疾病。本研究调查了斯洛伐克高塔特拉山脉地区小型哺乳动物中媒介传播病原体的流行情况和多样性，该地区有大量的娱乐活动且设有保护区。共对156只小型哺乳动物（包括10个物种）进行了病原体筛查，如属、属、属和属等病原体。研究动物中媒介传播病原体的流行率达到74.35%，其中属最为常见，在57.7%的动物中被检测到，特别是在和中。11.5%的啮齿动物中检测到了（），其中被确定为主要物种。在和中发现了，总流行率为3.2%。属的流行率最低，为1.9%。本研究证明了啮齿动物作为高塔特拉山脉地区保护区和塔特拉国家公园中媒介传播病原体宿主的重要作用。
