Abstract Ticks are able to transmit pathogens which represent an health risk for domestic animals and humans. In this study, ticks morphologically identified as Ixodes ricinus were collected from dogs and cats presented at local veterinary practice in Pistoia, Tuscany. Ticks were examined by PCR in order to detect tick-borne pathogens. Out of 37 I. ricinus ticks analyzed, one tick (3%) was 100% similar to R. helvetica after PCR analyses and sequencing. DNA of Eh. canis was detected in four I. ricinus ticks (12%) . Bartonella spp. DNAs with 100% identity with Bartonella henselae were identified in two I. ricinus (5%) collected from one dog and one cat. One tick showed 100% similarity with C. abortus , while 16 I. ricinus ticks exhibithed DNA of C. psittaci . DNAs of piroplasmids, Anaplasma spp., and C. burnetii were not detected in this study. Findings expand knowledge about the repertoire of tick-borne bacteria present in ticks from Tuscany and indicate that cats and dogs are exposed to tick-borne pathogen which represent a medical risk for their owners.

ABSTRACT Bartonella spp. can cause persistent bloodstream infections in humans and animals. To determine whether Bartonella henselae is present in questing Ixodes ricinus ticks, we analyzed the prevalence of B. henselae DNA among tick stages compared to the prevalence of DNA from Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the pathogen most frequently transmitted by ticks. B. henselae DNA was present with a prevalence of up to ∼40% in tick populations sampled in four European sites (Eberdingen, Germany; Klasdorf, Germany; Lembach, France; and Madeira, Portugal). The odds of detecting B. henselae DNA in nymphal ticks was ∼14-fold higher than in adult ticks. No tick was found to be coinfected with B. henselae and B. burgdorferi sensu lato. Taken together, our data indicate that ticks might serve as a vector for the transmission of B. henselae to humans.
