Role of the lizard Teira dugesii as a potential host for Ixodes ricinus tick-borne pathogens
Applied and Environmental Microbiology 78 (10), 3767-3769
Abstract: PCR screening of ticks and tissue samples collected from 151 Teira dugesii lizards seems to indicate a potential role of this lizard species in the maintenance and transmission cycle of some Ixodes ricinus tick-borne agents, such as Rickettsia monacensis, Rickettsia helvetica, and Borrelia lusitaniae, that are circulating on Madeira Island.
