Abstract

Several strains of Rickettsia sp. were isolated from patients in western Sicily with MSF (Mediterranean Spotted Fever) as well as ticks. Strains isolated were examined by PCR and identified as belonging to R. conorii sp. Importantly a strain of Israeli Spotted Fever Rickettsiae, obtained from a tick, was also identified. Our data prove that strains other than the classical R. conorii also circulate in Sicily.

摘要

从西西里岛西部患有地中海斑疹热（MSF）的患者以及蜱虫中分离出了几种立克次氏体菌株。对分离出的菌株进行了聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测，并鉴定为属于康氏立克次体。重要的是，还鉴定出了一株从蜱虫中获得的以色列斑疹热立克次体菌株。我们的数据证明，除了经典的康氏立克次体之外，其他菌株也在西西里岛传播。
