Among the 20 tick species described in Switzerland, Ixodes ricinus, the
most
frequent one, is implicated in the transmission of pathogenic agents. Lyme
borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) are the major tick-borne
diseases transmitted to human.
**Presently 5 Borrelia species, belonging to the group Borrelia
burgdorferi,
are recognized as human pathogens**.
The risks of infection depend on the stage of the vector, the multiple
hosts, the pathogenic agent, as well as human behavior in nature.
The detection of other pathogenic agents in ticks: Anaplasma, Babesia and
Rickettsia predispose to infections or co-infections. Results of
sero-epidemiologic studies suggest human infections. Active surveillance by
physicians is necessary and clinical studies are required to evaluate the
importance of these infections in Switzerland.
