The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Lyme\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n spp. and relapsing fever\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n spp. in\n Ixodes ricinus<\/jats:italic>\n ticks collected from dogs and the vegetation from different parts of Vojvodina, Serbia. A total of 71\n Ixodes ricinus<\/jats:italic>\n ticks were collected and screened for the presence of Lyme\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n spp. group and relapsing fever\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n spp. by real-time PCR for the\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n flagellin B (\n flaB<\/jats:italic>\n ) gene followed by DNA sequencing of PCR products. Species identification was verified by PCR of the outer surface protein A (\n ospA<\/jats:italic>\n ) gene for Lyme Disease\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n spp. and by PCR of the glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase (\n glpQ<\/jats:italic>\n ) gene for relapsing fever\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n spp. Lyme\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n spp. were found in 15\/71 (21.13%) of the ticks evaluated and included\n B. luisitaniae<\/jats:italic>\n (11.3%),\n B. afzelii<\/jats:italic>\n (7%),\n B. valaisiana<\/jats:italic>\n (1.4%), and\n B. garinii<\/jats:italic>\n (1.4%).\n Borrelia miyamotoi<\/jats:italic>\n , from the relapsing fever\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n complex, was found, for the first time in Serbia, in one (1.4%) nymph collected from the environment. Co-infections between\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n species in ticks were not detected. These results suggest that the dominance of species within\n B. burgdorferi<\/jats:italic>\n s.l. complex in\n I. ricinus<\/jats:italic>\n ticks may vary over time and in different geographic regions. Further systematic studies of\n Borrelia<\/jats:italic>\n species in vectors and reservoir hosts are needed to understand eco-epidemiology of these zoonotic infections and how to prevent human infection in the best way.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2016.2008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,30]],"date-time":"2016-08-30T14:26:46Z","timestamp":1472567206000},"page":"631-635","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Occurrence of\n Borrelia burgdorferi<\/i>\n Sensu Lato in\n Ixodes ricinus<\/i>\n Ticks with First Identification of\n Borrelia miyamotoi<\/i>\n in Vojvodina, Serbia"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Aleksandar","family":"Potkonjak","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Novi Sad","place":["Serbia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriela","family":"Kleinerman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hebrew University of Jerusalem","place":["Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Guti\u00e9rrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hebrew University of Jerusalem","place":["Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Savi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scientific Veterinary Institute \u201cNovi Sad","place":["Serbia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vuk","family":"Vra\u010dar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Novi Sad","place":["Serbia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yaarit","family":"Nachum-Biala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hebrew University of Jerusalem","place":["Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandar","family":"Juri\u0161i\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Novi Sad","place":["Serbia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alicia","family":"Rojas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hebrew University of Jerusalem","place":["Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Petrovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Novi Sad","place":["Serbia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ivana","family":"Ivanovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Novi Sad","place":["Serbia"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shimon","family":"Harrus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hebrew University of Jerusalem","place":["Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gad","family":"Baneth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Hebrew University of Jerusalem","place":["Israel"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1089\/vbz.2009.0139"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1128\/AEM.71.5.2616-2625.2005"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/zph.12154"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_1","volume-title":"Ticks of Domestic Animals in the Mediterranean Region: A Guide to Identification of Species","author":"Estrada-Pena A","year":"2004","unstructured":"Estrada-Pena A, , Bouattour A, , Camicas J, , Walker A.
