摘要
The abundance of bacteriocidal compounds contained in the salivary cement plug of ixodid ticks was changed because of the reproduction of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) in their bodies. The size of TBEV-infected Ixodes persulcatus Shulze lytic zone surrounding the cement plug enlarged to that of naive ticks, whereas Micrococcus lysodeikticus (Cohn) lytic zones induced by the cement plugs of TBEV-infected Amblyomma hebraeum Koch nymphs or Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neumann females were reduced, compared with those produced by noninfected specimens. It is possible that an increase of lysozyme production by the primary TBEV vectors (Ixodinae) infected salivary gland cells, compared with suppression of the bacteriocidal qualities of saliva of ticks that are not TBEV vectors in nature (Amblyomminae), is an indication of the specificity of a I. persulcatus-TBEV interface.
