Investigation of a natural focus of tularemia in southern Moravia (Czech Republic)
Treml, F. ; Hubálek, Zdeněk ; Halouzka, Jiří ; Pikula, J. ; Juřicová, Zina ; Janík, V.
In the years 1971-1993, up to about 1% of European hares (Lepus europaeus) had antibodies against Francisella tularensis in the district of Břeclav. However, the incidence of tularemia in hares increased significantly in 1994, when nearly 6% of individuals were seropositive. In 1995-2001, a total of 479 small mammals were captured and examined for tularemia: F. tularensis was isolated from two field voles (Microtus arvalis), in 1997 and 2001. During the same period, 3030 Dermacentor reticulatus, 626 Ixodes ricinus and 60 Haemaphysalis concinna ticks, as well as 9092 Aedes spp. mosquitoes were examined. F. tularensis was only recovered from D. reticulatus (32 isolates) and I. ricinus (1 isolate).

Investigations of diseases with natural focality in Biospheric Protection Area Pálava
Hubálek, Zdeněk ; Halouzka, Jiří ; Juřicová, Zina
Long-term studies of the Medical Zoology Laboratory at the Institute of Vertebrate Biology of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic concentrate on natural foci of diseases transmitted by haematophagous arthropods in this area, e.g., Valtice fever (the etiologic agent is mosquito-borne ahyňa virus), Lyme borreliosis (the agent is tick-borne Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato) or tularemia (the agent is Francisella tularensis that is occasionally transmitted also by ixodid ticks). We detected newly the activity of mosquito-borne West Nile virus in this area, and additional tick-borne pathogens might be expected (Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia microti). In addition, our laboratory has investigated the ecology of some non-tramissible diseases, e.g. avian botulism, salmonellosis in gulls and emmonsiosis in rodents; the latter two diseases also occur in humans.
