N2 - Ungulates are involved in the epidemiology of Borreliosis as maintenance hosts for vector tick species. We evaluated the prevalence of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in two different populations of southern chamois in Spain. Fortysix sera (40.4%) were positive at titres ≥1: 64 using an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFAT).
