SPREADING OF TOXOPLASMOSIS AGENT IN FAMILY IXODIDAE POPULATION

Abstract. Ixodidae family ticks are registered on every continent of the globe, including the Arctic and Antarctic. These representatives of arthropods are both biological and mechanical vectors of agents for many diseases, including babesiosis, borreliosis (Lyme disease), and many others, including toxoplasmosis.
The aim of the study was to investigate the presence of DNA of the agent of toxoplasmosis, Toxoplasma gondii, among the population of ticks (family Ixodidae) Holoseievski district of Kiev.
The results of the research among ticks Ixodidae family selected for the study was differenciated representatives of the following genera: Ixodes, Dermacentor and Rhipicephalus.
With the help of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in real time ticks were examined for the presence of ticks dangerous zoonosis agent of toxoplasmosis Toxoplasma gondii.
Thus, it was identified 20 % of the individuals infected with Toxoplasma adult ticks, 12.5 % of the nymphs individuals and no infected larval stage.
In the future we plan to continue the study on the different stages of development of different types of ticks that are spread on the territory of Ukraine, with the use of PCR for the presence of agents protozoal diseases.
