We provide evidence that tick-borne encephalitis virus and Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. are accumulated in the cement plug in the host skin within the first few hours after tick attachment. Extirpation of the tick without the cement plug, even very soon after the attachment, did not prevent the transmission by Ixodes ricinus, Ixodes persulcatus or Dermacentor reticulatus to mice. This was within 1 hour in the case of the TBE virus and after 20-22 h of attachment, in the case of Borrelia and I. persulcatus. The epidemiological significance of these findings is discussed.
我们提供的证据表明，蜱传脑炎病毒和伯氏疏螺旋体狭义亚种在蜱附着后的最初几个小时内积聚在宿主皮肤的水泥塞中。即使在蜱附着后很快就将没有水泥塞的蜱摘除，也不能阻止蓖麻硬蜱、全沟硬蜱或网纹革蜱将病毒或细菌传播给小鼠。对于蜱传脑炎病毒，在蜱附着1小时内即可传播；对于伯氏疏螺旋体和全沟硬蜱，在蜱附着20 - 22小时后可传播。本文讨论了这些发现的流行病学意义。
