Geographic distribution of Rickettsia parkeri in its US tick vector, Amblyomma maculatum, was evaluated by PCR. R. parkeri was detected in ticks from Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and South Carolina, which suggests that A. maculatum may be responsible for additional cases of R. parkeri rickettsiosis throughout much of its US range.
通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)评估了帕克立克次体在美国蜱虫媒介斑点钝眼蜱中的地理分布情况。在来自佛罗里达州、佐治亚州、肯塔基州、密西西比州、俄克拉何马州和南卡罗来纳州的蜱虫中检测到了帕克立克次体,这表明在其美国大部分分布范围内,斑点钝眼蜱可能是导致更多帕克立克次体病病例的原因。
