Occurrence of Rickettsia spp., Hantaviridae , Bartonella spp. and Leptospira spp. in European Moles ( Talpa europaea ) from the Netherlands
The European mole ( Talpa europaea ) has a widespread distribution throughout Europe. However, little is known about the presence of zoonotic pathogens in European moles. We therefore tested 180 moles from the middle and the south of the Netherlands by (q)PCR for the presence of multiple (tick-borne) zoonotic pathogens.
