Anaplasma in ticks feeding on migrating birds and questing ticks in Lithuania and Norway
Paulauskas, Algimantas; Radzijevskaja, Jana; Rosef, Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-04-15) -
Detection of tick-borne pathogens by molecular methods
Paulauskas, Algimantas; Radzijevskaja, Jana; Ambrasiene, Daiva; Rosef, Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)The use of molecular methods such as species-specific PCR, Multiplex-PCR, RT-PCR, reverse line blot hybridisation in investigations of tick-borne pathogens allowed to detect and identify the causative agents of Lyme ... -
Diversity in prevalence and genospecies of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ixodes ricinus ticks and rodents in Lithuania and Norway
Paulauskas, Algimantas; Ambrasiene, Daiva; Radzijevskaja, Jana; Rosef, Olav; Turčinavičienė, Jurga (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)A total of 1679 questing Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in Lithuania and 535 I. ricinus ticks collected in Norway from locations with different habitats were investigated for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. ... -
Genetic variation of ticks (Ixodes ricinus L.) in the Lithuanian and Norwegian populations
Paulauskas, Algimantas; Radzijevskaja, Jana; Rosef, Olav; Turčinavičienė, Jurga; Ambrasiene, Daiva; Makareviciute, Dovile (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)RAPD markers were used to measure the genetic diversity of 119 individuals of Ixodes ricinus collected from Lithuania and Norway. The samples were analysed within and also between the populations. We analysed 74 loci in ... -
Infestation of mice and voles with Ixodes ricinus ticks in Lithuania and Norway
Paulauskas, Algimantas; Radzijevskaja, Jana; Rosef, Olav; Turčinavičienė, Jurga; Ambrasiene, Daiva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)A total of 693 small rodents were live-trapped in Lithuania and Norway. In Lithuania, the mice Apodemus flavicollis and A. agrarius were more frequently infested with ticks than the voles Microtus arvalis and Myodes ... -
Infestation with Ixodes ricinus ticks on migrating passerine birds in Lithuania and Norway
Paulauskas, Algimantas; Rosef, Olav; Galdikaite, Egle; Radzijevskaja, Jana (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Ticks are known to carry several pathogenic agents of human diseases. To define the role of migrating birds as host and disseminators of ticks in Lithuania and Norway we analysed immature stage of ticks feeding on different ... -
Investigation of small rodents as reservoirs hosts of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Lithuania and Norway
Radzijevskaja, Jana; Paulauskas, Algimantas; Rosef, Olav (Conference object, 2006) -
Prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia divergens in Ixodes ricinus ticks from Lithuania and Norway
Radzijevskaja, Jana; Paulauskas, Algimantas; Rosef, Olav (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2008)We detected Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Babesia divergens in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from different locations in Lithuania and Norway by using the Taq Man based real-time PCR method. The msp2 gene of A. phagocytophilum ... -
Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in questing Ixodes ricinus ticks in relation to the density of wild cervids
Rosef, Olav; Paulauskas, Algimantas; Radzijevskaja, Jana (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-11-27)BACKGROUND: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Anaplasma phagocytophilum have been considered as pathogens in animals and humans. The role of wild cervids in the epidemiology is not clear. We analyzed questing Ixodes ... -
The prevalence and distribution of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in host seeking Ixodes ricinus ticks in Lithuania
Turčinavičienė, Jurga; Ambrasiene, Daiva; Paulauskas, Algimantas; Radzijevskaja, Jana; Rosef, Olav; Žygutienė, Milda (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2006)A total of 1559 unfed Ixodes ricinus (L., 1758) ticks were collected from the vegetation by flagging in 18 locations of Lithuania. The ticks were tested individually for the presence of spirochetes using polymerase chain ... -
