▼ The goal of this research was to investigate the role of large game animals (roe deer, red deer, fallow deer, mouflon and wild boar) in the Netherlands as a reservoir of tick-transmitted diseases. Ticks and blood samples from 26 roe deer, 21 fallow deer, 11 red deer, 5 wild boars, 1 mouflon and 1 badger have been sent to the UCTD by hunters from five different areas. The species and stadia of the ticks were determined. The DNA of 172 ticks and 56 bloodsamples were examined on the presence of a couple of different pathogenes (Babesia, Borrelia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia/Anaplasma, Rickettsia and Nicolleia) by means of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and RLB (Reverse Line Blot). The DNA of several ticks and blood samples have been cloned. Results showed that from 172 ticks, 168 were Ixodes ricinus, 4 ticks were Ixodes hexagonus. 4 out of 172 ticks were nymfs, 168 ticks were adults. Results from RLB showed the following rates of infection in ticks: Babesia/Theileria: 1,2% (B. catch-all), Borrelia: 2,9% (B. afzelii, B. burgdorferi sensu lato, B. garinii), Bartonella: 9,3%, (B. catch-all, B. schoenbuchensis), Ehrlichia/Anaplasma: 20,9% (Ehrlichia/Anaplasma catch-all, E. schotti, A. phagocytophilum), Rickettsia: 6,9% (R. catch-all, R. helvetica), Nicolleia: 9,9% (N. catch-all). The results showed the following percentages of infection for the following large game animals: Babesia/Theileria: roe deer: 29% (Theileria/Babesia catch-all, B. catch-all, B. canis, B. divergens), red deer: 27% (Theileria/Babesia catch-all, B. catch-all, B. divergens), fallow deer: 14% (Theileria/Babesia catch-all, B. catch-all, B. divergens), Bartonella: roe deer: 29% (B. catch-all, B. schoenbuchensis), red deer: 55% (B. catch-all), Ehrlichia/Anaplasma: roe deer: 24% (Ehrlichia/ Anaplasma catch-all, A. phagocytophilum), red deer: 27% (Ehrlichia/ Anaplasma catch-all, A. phagocytophilum), fallow deer: 24% (Ehrlichia/ Anaplasma catch-all). Babesia/Theileria does not seem to trasfer efficiently from blood to ticks. Borrelia was not demonstrated in the blood of the large game animals; most probably due to the role of antibodies and the preference for areas with low oxygen saturations. Rickettsia and Nicolleia were not demonstrated in blood; large game animals do not appear to form a reservoir for these pathogens. Bartonella was demonstrated in blood of a mouflon and Ehrlichia/Anaplasma in a tick from this animal. Tick-transmitted pathogens were not demonstrated in blood samples from 5 wild boars and in 4 ticks from a badger. Concusions cannot be made regarding results of autopsy by pathological examination.

▼ Ticks are vectors of a great diversity of pathogens, which can be of both veterinary and human medical interest. Besides the emerging of the number of vector-borne diseases in humans, the frequency of the number of vector-borne diseases in companion animals in Europe is also rising. This study has tried to map out the prevalence of a number of tick-borne zoonoses in I. hexagonus ticks originating from cats in the Netherlands. Since the way of life of I. hexagonus is totally different from that of I. ricinus and because there has only been limited research to I. hexagonus, there has been chosen to investigate I. hexagonus ticks. With screening by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and revere line blot (RLB) hybridization, 182 ♀ I. hexagonus ticks – collected from July 2005 up to September 2009 – from the collection of the Utrecht Centre for Tick-borne Diseases (UCTD), were screened for the presence of Anaplasma spp., Bartonella spp., Borrelia burgdorferi s.l., Coxiella burnetii, Francisella tularensis and Rickettsia spp. The screened I. hexagonus ticks were infected with A. phagocytophilum (2.75%) and B. schoenbuchensis (2.20%). This is the first time that B. schoenbuchensis is demonstrated in ticks originating from cats. B. schoenbuchensis is associated with the zoonosis deer ked dermatitis, although the exact role in the etiology of this disease remains to be elucidated. Further, there were positive results for R. helvetica and there was one positive result for R. massiliae. Because the 16S rRNA sequences of 2 other samples which were positive for Rickettsia spp. by RLB did not match the 16S rRNA sequence of any known Rickettsia spp., these results should be carefully interpreted. It was remarkable that B. burgdorferi sensu lato was not found in any of the screened ticks. On account of – during this investigation – encountered problems with a newly developed diagnostic RLB test for Francisella and Coxiella, there are no reliable results concerning the prevalence of these pathogens. At the moment the UCTD is working to prevent such problems in the future. To conclude: more research at tick-borne zoonoses is desirable, because not from all infectious agents it is known whether they are a zoonosis or not and it is not always known what the role of ticks is in the transmission of these agents.

▼ De aanwezigheid van de teek Rhipicephalus sanguineus op honden kan resulteren in fysieke schade en overdracht van pathogenen als Ehrlichia canis. Gedurende een periode van 8 weken is de prevalentie van R. sanguineus teken en E. canis onderzocht op Aruba. In totaal zijn 129 honden uit de kliniek in Wayaca en 40 honden uit het “afmaakhok” van de Veterinaire Dienst onderzocht. 42.6% van de kliniekhonden bleek anemisch te zijn en deze waren volgens de standaard van de kliniek verdacht van ehrlichiose, de prevalentie van honden met teken was 62.4%. Van de dieren uit het afmaakhok werd 97% verdacht van ehrlichiose en de prevalentie van teken was 95%. De prevalentie van anemische dieren bleek bij kruisingen 6.7% hoger dan bij rashonden. Het geschat gemiddelde aantal teken bij honden uit de kliniek was 15 per hond met een mediaan van 4, in het afmaakhok was dat een gemiddelde van 75 met een mediaan van 40. Alle verzamelde teken zijn gedetermineerd tot de Rhipicephalus sanguineus soort. In het kader van tekenpreventie en –bestrijding is het van belang om zowel het dier als de omgeving te behandelen. Paramite® en Frontline® zijn de meest gebruikte producten op de hond in Aruba. Tevredenheid van de gebruiker is niet gecorreleerd met een laag aantal teken op de hond. De meest effectieve producten zijn Frontline® in combinatie met Paramite® of Sergeants®. Ook Advocate® bleek een effectief middel. Verreweg het minst effectief bleek het product Paramite®, wanneer dit als enige middel gebruikt werd. Het gebruik van de (Professional) Pestcontrol in de omgeving blijkt effectief en resulteert in een lager aantal teken per hond dan wanneer de omgeving niet behandeld wordt. Het gemiddeld aantal teken per hond is het laagst bij honden die leven op een erf waar grind de bodembedekker is en met een hek als omheining van het erf. In dit onderzoek zijn vele variabelen onderzocht. Daarnaast zijn een groot aantal resultaten gebaseerd op antwoorden die eigenaren gegeven hebben tijdens het afnemen van de vragenlijst. De resultaten kunnen niet beschouwd worden als absoluut correct en volledig betrouwbaar. Verder onderzoek; onder meer gestandaardiseerde omstandigheden is nodig en aan te bevelen. Toch is een goed beeld gekregen van de recente situatie op Aruba met betrekking tot de tekenproblematiek. Advisors/Committee Members: Jongejan, F..

▼ Rabies is a zoonotic, rapidly progressive, fatal virus which targets the central nervous system and is mainly transmitted by bites and scratches from domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) acting as the main reservoir of disease. Not only dogs and humans play a role in the dynamics of rabies, it is also known as a disease that is of conservation interest. Wild carnivore populations have been affected by rabies virus over the past 20 years. The design and success of long-term rabies control programs aimed at domestic dogs in developing countries may be affected by many factors such as high density populations and high turnover rates. The objective of this study was to collect data through a household-level census in three rural communities in the sub-district of Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga Province of South Africa, bordering a large privately-owned conservation area. With this data we aim to assess rabies-vaccination coverage and other factors that might influence the success of the on-going vaccination campaign in the study areas. A descriptive analysis of household characteristics, dog demographics, and contraception demand was performed. A total of 1086 households were interviewed representing a total of 5115 persons and 413 dogs. Dog densities were found to be 169 dogs/km2, 128 dogs/km2, and 133 dogs/km2. We found that the dog:human ratio is 1:11 and 1:15 in the three studied communities. Of all the households included in this study 227 (21%) were DOHH and 863 (79%) of them NOHH. More than 60% of the dogs were found to be free roaming in all three communities. The dog populations were comprised principally of adults (>1 year of age) which made up 52 - 69% of the dog populations in the three communities. The sex ratio of the dog population in all three communities is skewed towards males. The average number of litters in the past twelve months ranged from 1,0-1,3 litter(s), the mean size of the litter was 5,0-5,2 pups and the mortality in the first week after birth 0-45,9%. Neutered dogs (<12%) are not a common finding in any of the three communities. Owners were willing to pay an average of $8 for the 2-year contraception injection. The vaccination coverage range in each of the three communities was 48.6%-57.3%, 68.7%-77.4% and 53.3%-77.8%. We did not detect any significance between confinement characteristics and the vaccination status of dogs in the three communities. Our results show that over 85% of dogs in all three communities were vaccinated during a vaccination campaign where house-to-house visits were carried out. Veterinarians, medical practitioners, and health authorities have the responsibility to apply intersectoral collaboration under the motto of ‘One Health’. We need to strive for a high level of risk perception among dog owners and an increased belief in the benefits of vaccination through public education activities. Proactive and sustainable vaccination programs in the Western World have proven their efficacy in the eradication of domestic dog rabies; this should provide a motivation and a… Advisors/Committee Members: Jongejan, F., Knobel, D..
