Abstract

Rickettsia slovaca, the causative agent of TIBOLA, is transmitted by Dermacentor ticks. Dermacentor marginatus is the most widely species distributed in northeastern Spain, and the wild boar constitutes the main host. D. marginatus ticks were collected from hunter-killed wild boar and were tested by PCR/RFLP. Rickettsial DNA-positive ticks were sequenced using the ompA PCR primers. The prevalence of R. slovaca in D. marginatus ticks was 17.7%. Other spotted fever group rickettsiae were detected in ticks, but these were not definitely identified.

摘要

斯洛伐克立克次体是蜱传斑疹伤寒淋巴结炎（TIBOLA）的病原体，由革蜱传播。边缘革蜱是西班牙东北部分布最广的物种，野猪是其主要宿主。从猎人捕杀的野猪身上采集边缘革蜱，并通过聚合酶链反应/限制性片段长度多态性分析（PCR/RFLP）进行检测。使用ompA聚合酶链反应引物对立克次体DNA阳性的蜱进行测序。斯洛伐克立克次体在边缘革蜱中的感染率为17.7%。在蜱中检测到了其他斑点热群立克次体，但未明确鉴定。
