Babesiosis is as one of the emerging human and animal diseases transmitted by ticks. It is caused intraerythrocytic parasites of the genus Babesia. Current evidence of human babesiosis suggests that the majority of cases are involved by Babesia divergens and Babesia microti piroplasms. As zoonotic reservoir of B. microti serve small mammals - insectivores and rodents. The occurrence of this parasite in natural environment in Poland is documented for various regions, in the wide range of mammal hosts. The most important role as Babesia microti reservoir play Microtus voles. The prevalence of infection in Microtus arvalis studied in Mazurian Lakeland is 9-33%; in Microtus agrestis in Katowice agglomeration reach almost 50%, Microtus oeconomus in Białowieża 7.7-50%. The lesser role as zoonotic reservoir play Clethrionomys voles, Apodemus mice and shrews; the prevalence of infections in these mammals don't exceed 2 %. The vectors for B. microti piroplasms in middle-European conditions are Ixodes ricinus, I. trianguliceps and Dermacentor reticulatus. There were recorded the infections of Ixodes ricinus ticks with B. microti in Szczecin and Tri-City, the rate was 6.2-13.3%. The variation in B. microti prevalence in rodents and ticks is very changeable and determined by season, the interaction with other hemoparasites, host's age and local conditions.

In the present note the first cases of Babesia microti infection of Clethrionomys glareolus in the district of Mazury Lakes is described. Contrary to other European countries, the zoonotic reservoir as well as epidemiological role of parasites from the genus Babesia spp. in Poland is entirely unknown.

In the suburban and urban forests in the cities of Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia (northern Poland), Ixodes ricinus ticks should be considered as the vector of pathogenic microorganisms that may cause significant diseases in wild and domestic animals and humans. These microorganisms include etiologic agents of Lyme disease, human anaplasmosis (HA) and babesiosis: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia microti, respectively. DNA extracts from 701 ticks collected in 15 localities were examined by PCR for the simultaneous detection of these 3 pathogens. Overall, 14% were infected with A. phagocytophilum followed by 12.4% with B. burgdorferi s.l. and 2.3% with B. microti. In total, the percentage of infected females (32.9%) was 2.4 times higher than in males (13.7%) and 3.2 times higher than in nymphs (10.3%). Among adult ticks (n = 303), 8.3% were dually infected with A. phagocytophilum and B. burgdorferi s.l., 2.0% with the agent of human anaplasmosis and B. microti and 0.3% with borreliae and B. microti.

A total of 1,367 Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from 5 districts of the Lublin region (eastern Poland) were examined for the presence of Babesia microti DNA by PCR and nested-PCR. As many as 74 ticks (5.4%) were found to be infected with Babesia microti. The infection rate varied significantly with stage/sex of ticks (chi2=16.48543, df=2, p<0.000264). The infection rates in females and males amounted to 6.4% and 8.8% respectively and were significantly higher (p=0.006 and p=0.0001 respectively) compared to minimum infection rate in nymphs that was equal to 2.8%. The prevalence of infection showed also a significant variability depending on geographic location within the Lublin region (chi2=18.62812, df=4, p<0.000932). The highest rates of infection with Babesia microti were noted in ticks collected from the areas of Puławy district situated in the northern part of region and the suburban Lublin district situated in the central part of the region (8.0% and 7.3% respectively). Mediocre infection rates (respectively 3.4% and 3.3%) were found in ticks from the Parczew and Włodawa districts situated in eastern part of the region and covered with humid lakeland forests. The lowest infection rate (0.5%) was noted in ticks from the Zamość district situated in southern part of the region. In conclusion, the infection rate of Ixodes ricinus ticks with Babesia microti found in this study is higher compared to the majority of data reported by Polish and other European authors, and indicates a potential risk of human infection during occupational or recreational exposure to tick bite.

Wstęp: Celem badań była ocena zakażenia kleszczy występujących na różnych miejscach i stanowiskach pracy w leśnictwie (uzyskiwanie drewna, hodowla lasu, uprawa lasu, ochrona lasu) patogenami przenoszonymi przez kleszcze. Materiał i metody: Z 4 miejsc pracy zebrano 861 kleszczy Ixodes ricinus, które zbadano na obecność Borrelia burgdorferi, Anaplasma phagocytophilum i Babesia microti przy pomocy łańcuchowej reakcji polimerazy (polymerase chain reaction – PCR). Następnie przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą względnej gęstości kleszczy i ich zakażenia w poszczególnych miejscach pracy. W analizie statystycznej zastosowano test Chi² i test korelacji Pearsona. Wyniki: Różnice w zakażeniach kleszczy B. burgdorferi (15,9–50%) zebranych z różnych miejsc pracy były statystycznie wysoce istotne, a najwyższe zakażenie kleszczy zaobserwowano w miejscu hodowli lasu. Odsetki zakażeń kleszczy A. phagocytophilum i B. microti na poszczególnych miejscach pracy wahały się odpowiednio od 1,1% do 3,7% i od 3,6% do 4,4%, a różnice były nieistotne statystycznie. Współzakażenia kleszczy 2 lub 3 patogenami występowały rzadko. Wnioski: Wykazano istotną zależność koinfekcji B. burgdorferi i B. microti od stanowiska pracy, natomiast nie stwierdzono jej dla współwystępowania B. burgdorferi i A. phagocytophilum. Nie wykazano korelacji między względną aktywnością a zakażeniem kleszczy B. burgdorferi, A. phagocytophilum i B. microti. Med Pr 2014;65(5):575–581

Background: The objective of the study was the evaluation of the infection of ticks with pathogenic microorganisms at various workplaces (timber acquisition, forest growing, forest cultivation, forest protection). Material and Methods: Eight hundred sixty one Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from 4 workplaces were examined for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia microti by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Then, a comparative analysis of the relative density and infection of ticks at individual workplaces was done. In the statistical analysis, Chi² test, and Pearson’s test for correlation were applied. Results: The differences in infection (15.9–50%) of ticks with B. burgdorferi between the examined workplaces were highly significant, with the highest percentage observed at forest growing. The percentages of infection of ticks with A. phagocytophilum at individual workplaces ranged from 1.1–3.7%, and differences were statistically insignificant. The percentages of infections of ticks with Babesia microti at individual workplaces fluctuated from 3.6–4.4% and differences were also insignificant. Co-infections of ticks with 2 or 3 pathogens were rare. Conclusions: Co-infections with B. burgdorferi and B. microti showed a significant relationship with the workplaces, while those with B. burgdorferi and A. phagocytophilum did not show such a dependence. No significant positive correlation was found between the relative density of ticks and the frequencies of infections with B. burgdorferi, A. phagocytophilum and B. microti. Med.

We have designed and performed a new PCR method based on the 18S rRNA in order to individuate the presence and the identity of Babesia parasites. Out of 1159 Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks collected in four areas of Switzerland, nine were found to contain Babesia DNA. Sequencing of the short amplicon obtained (411-452 bp) allowed the identification of three human pathogenic species: Babesia microti, B. divergens, for the first time in Switzerland, Babesia sp. EU1. We also report coinfections with B. sp. EU1-Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto and Babesia sp. EU1-B. afzelii.
