Abstract
Epidemiology, etiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, treatment and prevention of arthopod-borne (predominantly tick-borne) diseases in Slovenia are the topics of the project. The research is devoted to Lyme borreliosis, tick-borne encephalitis, and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, as well as to rickettial and some viral infections. In addition to three known Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato strains causing human Lyme borreliosis in Europe, a fourth species, Borrelia bissettii (desiganted as MLx) was discovered in Slovenian patients. A study on the etiology of febrile illnesses occurring after a tick bite revealed that in addition to well known Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis also human granulocytic ehrlichiosis is present in Slovenia (first description of human granulocytic ehrlichiosis in Europe).
