A total of 554 fleas were collected in the Moroccan Casablanca and Tiznit regions from domesticated animals and ruminants between August 2007 and October 2008 and were tested for the presence of Rickettsia spp. and Bartonella spp. using molecular methods. For the first time in Morocco, we found Rickettsia felis, the agent of flea-borne spotted fever in Ctenocephalides felis; B. henselae, an agent of cat scratch disease; and Bartonella clarridgeiae, a cat pathogen and potentially a human pathogen.
2007年8月至2008年10月期间,在摩洛哥卡萨布兰卡和提兹尼特地区,共从家畜和反刍动物身上采集了554只跳蚤,并使用分子方法检测了其中是否存在立克次体属和巴尔通体属细菌。在摩洛哥,我们首次在猫栉首蚤中发现了引起蚤传斑点热的费氏立克次体;发现了引起猫抓病的亨氏巴尔通体;还发现了一种猫病原体且可能也是人类病原体的克拉氏巴尔通体。
