| Popis: | In Europe, Anaplasma phagocytophilum circulates in natural foci in a tick-host cycle. Up to now, antibodies against A. phagocytophilum as well as pathogen's DNA were recorded in several domestic and wild animals. Nevertheless, the reservoir host range is still under investigation. Tissue samples from European brown bears (Ursus arctos) were tested for the presence of A. phagocytophilum DNA by a PCR amplification of 16S rRNA gene. The results of our study provides the evidence, that the range of animals involved in the circulation and maintenance of A. phagocytophilum in natural foci, is extended of another ursine carnivore, European brown bear (Ursus arctos). |
