The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ixodes ricinus ticks within Nadbuzański Landscape Park (central-eastern Mazovian province, Poland). A total of 685 of ticks (187 adults, 393 nymphs and 105 larvae) were collected in the surroundings of seven places: Korczew, Sterdyń, Ceranów, Miedza, Stoczek, Sadowne, Lochów. The spirochetes DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 60 samples of DNA (8.8%) of the total number of tested ticks (taking into consideration minimal infection rate in pool by 5 nymphs or larvae). The infection rate in females, males, nymphs and larvae was 18.8%, 13.8%, 6.1% and 3.8%, respectively. The highest percentage of spirochete infection (14.1%) was detected in ticks occurring within the Lochów, while the lowest (2.7%) from Stoczek.
