在欧洲，睡鼠是莱姆病（LD）蜱传病原体特定基因种的主管储存宿主，似乎比小鼠或田鼠更有效地支持它们。可食用睡鼠（Glis glis）的寿命和它们对蜱的吸引力可能导致LD螺旋体在睡鼠栖息地的蜱中占优势。为了研究可食用睡鼠在LD螺旋体传播周期中的作用，我们对居住在德国西南部五个不同研究地点的睡鼠的耳廓皮肤组织进行了采样。在501只可食睡鼠中，12.6%携带LD螺旋体DNA。食用睡鼠感染最频繁的致病性LD螺旋体阿氏疏螺旋体。B的DNA garinii和B.在ca. 0.5%的受试者。直到7月，在可食用的睡鼠的皮肤中才检测到螺旋体DNA，6周后，它们通常开始从专性冬眠中出现。此后，螺旋体DNA在可食用的睡鼠中的流行率在其4至5个月活动的剩余期间增加，在9月达到近40%。男性比女性更容易携带LD螺旋体四倍多，一岁的孩子比成年人感染的可能性高出两倍。LD螺旋体在可食用睡鼠中流行的季节性是明显的，可能会影响它们作为其他宿主的储存宿主的作用。
In Europe, dormice serve as competent reservoir hosts for particular genospecies of the tick-borne agent of Lyme disease (LD) and seem to support them more efficiently than do mice or voles. The longevity of edible dormice (Glis glis) and their attractiveness for ticks may result in a predominance of LD spirochetes in ticks questing in dormouse habitats. To investigate the role of edible dormice in the transmission cycle of LD spirochetes, we sampled skin tissue from the ear pinnae of dormice inhabiting five different study sites in south western Germany. Of 501 edible dormice, 12.6% harbored DNA of LD spirochetes. Edible dormice were infected most frequently with the pathogenic LD spirochete Borrelia afzelii. The DNA of B. garinii and B. bavariensis was detected in ca. 0.5% of the examined individuals. No spirochetal DNA was detectable in the skin of edible dormice until July, 6 weeks after they generally start to emerge from their obligate hibernation. Thereafter, the prevalence of spirochetal DNA in edible dormice increased during the remaining period of their 4 to 5 months of activity, reaching nearly 40% in September. Males were more than four times more likely to harbor LD spirochetes than females, and yearlings were almost twice more likely to be infected than adults. The seasonality of the prevalence of LD spirochetes in edible dormice was pronounced and may affect their role as a reservoir host in respect to other hosts.
