J Dabrowski et al. Bull Inst Marit Trop Med Gdynia. 1993.

Abstract

Among ticks Ixodes ricinus collected in April 1994 in the forest near Fraknowo (Olsztyn province, N. C. Poland), 17 ticks were evaluated for Borrelia infection by cultivating in the BSK-H medium (Sigma). The ticks were examined in five pools--four of 3 females and one pool of 5 nymphs. Spirochaetes were cultured successfully only from one pool of females and identified as Borrelia burgdorferi with monoclonal antibodies: H 9724, H 5332, H 3TS and 11 G 1 by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). This is the first reported isolate of B. burgdorferi from Ixodes ricinus in Poland.
