The presented study concerned mycological analysis of buildings in Łódź and evaluation of the role between filamentous fungi contaminated flats and inhabitants health (allergic airway diseases). 49 inhabitants of 20 flats with signs of moulds contamination were examined. Air samples were collected in houses and outdoors. In all inhabitants skin prick tests (SPT) to common allergens and to standardized...
The purpose of this study was to specify the occurrence and prevalence of Babesia microti in hard ticks removed from dogs in Warsaw (central Poland). Among 590 collected ticks, 209 were identified as Ixodes ricinus, and 381 as Dermacentor reticulums. B. microti DNA was detected in 11 out of 590 (1.86%) samples of ticks. The DNA of the parasite was detected only in lysates from female I. ricinus ticks...
The study presents the prevalence of Yersinia species in dunnok Prunella modularis from the sub-alpine zone of the Western Carpathians. Bacteria were detected from cloacal and pharyngeal swabs from 97 specimens using PCR assay. Yersinia enterocolitica showed the highest prevalence (47.4%) from among the determined Yersinia species. Yersinia species (except Y. frederiksenii) were detected more frequently...
Gut microbiota was analyzed in children, aged 6–18 months and su$ering from atopic dermatitis before and after 3 month supplementation of their diet with Lactobacillus casei DN – 114001 in a dose of 10⁹ cells daily. On completion of this period the total number of fecal Lactobacillus sp. cells decreased from 7.86 Log₁₀ CFU/g to 6.40 Log₁₀ CFU/g. After the next 5 months (without dietary supplementation...
The present study focuses on the assessment of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) release from PK15 cells in a time dependent manner. the highest amount of PERV A RNA was detected in PK15 cells after 16 hours of culture. !e highest amount of PERV B RNA was detected in PK15 cells after 20 hours. !e highest amount of both subtypes RNAs was detected in culture medium after 32 hours of culture. the...
Between 2007 and 2010, a total of 268 Croatian patients with lymphadenopathy were tested for IgM/IgG antibodies to Bartonella (B.) henselae and B. quintana. Samples from 44.4% patients showed positive IgG antibodies: 35.8% to B. henselae, 6.7% to B. quintana and 1.9% to both Bartonella species. $ere was no di&erence in seropositivity between males and females (47.4% vs. 41.5%). Seroprevalence...
The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of EBV genotype and del-LMP-1 in saliva from Polish, Taiwanese and Arabic healthy students. The study group consisted of 56 healthy students; 24 of them Polish, 25 Taiwanese, and 7 Arabic. Typing was carried out using PCR with EBNA-2 primers. A detection of LMP-1 variants was also performed using PCR. EBV DNA was detected in 22 investigated samples...
Ticks constitute important vectors of human and animal pathogens. Besides the Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis, other pathogens such as Babesia spp., Rickettsia spp., and Anaplasma phagocytophilum, are of increasing public health interest. In Poland, as in other European countries, Ixodes ricinus, the most prevalent tick species responsible for the majority of tick bites in humans, is...
