Molecular Detection of Tick-Borne Pathogens in Humans with Tick Bites and Erythema Migrans, in the Netherlands
BACKGROUND Tick-borne diseases are the most prevalent vector-borne diseases in Europe. Knowledge on the incidence and clinical presentation of other tick-borne diseases than Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis is minimal, despite the high human exposure to these pathogens through tick bites. Using molecular detection techniques, the frequency of tick-borne infections after exposure thr...
متن کاملThe geographical distribution of tick bites and erythema migrans in general practice in The Netherlands.
BACKGROUND Lyme disease is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi which is transmitted in Europe by the tick ixodes ricinus. Erythema migrans is a skin lesion which is pathognomonic of Lyme disease. A retrospective study was carried out to determine the geographical distribution of the occurrence of tick bites and erythema migrans in the Netherlands and to identify ecological risk factors. METHODS In...
متن کاملTick bite—Erythema migrans
This manuscript describes the typical presentation of erythema migrans caused by tick bite. The purposes of this article are (i) to encourage physicians to observe patients with tick bite carefully since it may cause fatal encephalitis, and (ii) to facilitate physicians, especially in endemic areas, to consider tick-borne encephalitis virus as one of the causes of encephalitis.
متن کاملTick vaccines and the control of tick-borne pathogens
Ticks are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites that transmit a wide variety of pathogens to humans and animals. The incidence of tick-borne diseases has increased worldwide in both humans and domestic animals over the past years resulting in greater interest in the study of tick-host-pathogen interactions. Advances in vector and pathogen genomics and proteomics have moved forward our knowledge ...
متن کاملTick-Borne Diseases of Humans
In “Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Necrotizing Pneumonia,” by Monica Monaco et al., an error occurred on page 1647, in the first full sentence of the third column. The sentence should read “On day 3 of admission, antimicrobial drug therapy was changed to linezolid (600 mg 2 times a day).” The corrected text appears in the online article at http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol11no10/05...
