Enterovirus-specific genetic sequences were isolated from two Amblyomma americanum tick pools. Identical genetic sequences were later obtained from cerebrospinal fluid of a patient with aseptic meningitis and a recent history of tick attachment. These observations suggest the possibility of an emerging tick-borne human enterovirus associated with aseptic meningitis.
从两组美洲钝眼蜱样本中分离出肠道病毒特异性基因序列。后来在一名患有无菌性脑膜炎且近期有蜱虫叮咬史的患者的脑脊液中获得了相同的基因序列。这些观察结果提示存在一种与无菌性脑膜炎相关的、新出现的蜱传人类肠道病毒的可能性。
