Tick-borne pathogens in Thailand can cause diseases that result in productivity and economic losses in the livestock sector as well as cause debilitating illnesses in humans and their companion animals. With the advent of molecular techniques, accurate identification of tick-borne pathogens and precise diagnosis of disease is now available. This literature review summarizes the various tick-borne pathogens that have been isolated from ticks and their vertebrate hosts in Thailand, covering those protozoa, rickettsiae, bacteria and viruses most responsible for human and veterinary disease with particular emphasis on those that have been characterized molecularly.
泰国的蜱传病原体可引发疾病,给畜牧业造成生产力和经济损失,还会导致人类及其伴侣动物患上使人虚弱的疾病。随着分子技术的出现,现在已能够准确鉴定蜱传病原体并精确诊断疾病。这篇文献综述总结了从泰国的蜱及其脊椎动物宿主中分离出的各种蜱传病原体,涵盖了那些对人类和兽医疾病最具致病性的原生动物、立克次氏体、细菌和病毒,特别强调了那些已通过分子手段进行特征鉴定的病原体。
