During the hunting season 2007-2008, 494 Dermacentor marginatus (Sulzer) ticks were collected from 109 hunter-killed wild boars, Sus scrofa, in Lucca's province, Tuscany, Italy. Rickettsia slovaca, the causative agent of tick-borne lymphadenopathy (TIBOLA), was detected in 32.1% of ticks tested (n=112) by using polymerase chain reaction primers targeting gltA, ompA, and ompB rickettsial genes. Moreover, Rickettsia raoultii was found for the first time in Italy, with 1.8% infection prevalence. This study confirms the risk posed to humans by ticks and tick-borne pathogens in the study area, where cases of spotted fever rickettsiosis (TIBOLA) are reported.
在 2007-2008 年狩猎季期间，从意大利托斯卡纳卢卡省的 109 只被猎人杀死的野猪身上采集到了 494 只边缘革蜱（Dermacentor marginatus（Sulzer））。通过使用针对 gltA、ompA 和 ompB 立克次体基因的聚合酶链反应引物，在 112 只检测的蜱中，检测到 32.1%（n=112）的蜱携带 tick-borne lymphadenopathy（TIBOLA）的病原体蜱传斑点热群立克次体（Rickettsia slovaca）。此外，首次在意大利发现了拉乌尔氏菌（Rickettsia raoultii），其感染率为 1.8%。本研究证实了在该研究区域内，蜱和蜱传病原体对人类构成的风险，该地区报告了斑点热群立克次体病（TIBOLA）的病例。
