EVIDENCES ABOUT HUMAN TICK-BORNE INFECTIONS IN CUBA

Serosurveys for IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in a population exposed to tick bites (n = 247) and blood donors (n = 114) were done to assess the prevalence of tick-borne infections in. Seroprevalence of antiborrelial IgG antibodies was estimated in 0.6–7.2 % and 0 % of risk po...

Summary:Serosurveys for IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in a population exposed to tick bites (n = 247) and blood donors (n = 114) were done to assess the prevalence of tick-borne infections in. Seroprevalence of antiborrelial IgG antibodies was estimated in 0.6–7.2 % and 0 % of risk population and blood donors, respectively. While previous expositions to A. phagocytophilum (7.2 %), E. chaffensis (3.6 %) and B. microti (11.5 %) were serologically detected. These reports suggest the presence of tick-borne pathogens in Cuba, nonetheless lacking of further accurate information strongly calls to the need of more deeply studies. Cuba
