- * Researchers collected 846 ticks from various environments and found a 6.2% overall infection rate of TBRFGB, identifying specific species such as Borrelia miyamotoi and Borrelia anserina in certain tick species.
- * Additionally, a serological analysis of 42 patients with unexplained fevers showed that 10% had antibodies indicating possible recent infections with B. miyamotoi, highlighting the potential risk of these pathogens in the region.
Bats from three provinces in Vietnam (Lai Chau, Son La, and Dong Thap) were examined for the presence of pathogenic Leptospira or specific antibodies using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and microscopic agglutination test (MAT). Tissue specimens from 298 bats belonging to 11 species were analyzed using a real-time PCR assay specific for leptospires of pathogenic species. Leptospiral DNA was identified in 40 bats from following species: Rousettus amplexicaudatus (5/9; 55.
