Abstract

In this study 1185 larvae of two mosquito species were examined. 154 were DFM positive for the presence of spirochaetes. In 6 positive samples the presence of borrelian DNA was found. The aim for the future is to determine genera/species of other spirochaetes occuring in mosquitoe larvae.

Abstract (in Czech)

V této studii bylo vyšetřeno 1185 larev dvou druhů komárů. 154 z nich bylo DFM pozitivních na přítomnost spirochet. V 6 pozitivních vzorcích byla nalezena DNA Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Cílem do budoucna je určit rody/druhy dalších spirochet vyskytujících se v larvách komárů.
