The role of different species of wild ungulates and Ixodes ricinus ticks in the circulation of genetic variants of Anaplasma phagocytophilum in a forest biotope in north-western Poland.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to reveal genetic variants of Anaplasma phagocytophilum strains occurring in different species of wild ungulates and in Ixodes ricinus ticks to check the role of the examined species in the circulation of the revealed variants in nature. The aim was also to determine if the detected variants of A. phagocytophilum are specific for particular game species as well as to examine their...
