We report that multiple symbionts coexist in Dermacentor silvarum. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, we prove that Coxiella-like and Arsenophonus-like symbionts, with 95.6% and 96.7% sequence similarity to symbionts in the closest taxon, respectively, are novel. Moreover, we also provide evidence that the Coxiella-like symbiont appears to be the primary symbiont.
我们报告称,在硬蜱属中存在多种共生体共存。基于 16S rRNA 基因序列分析,我们证明了 Coxiella 样和 Arsenophonus 样共生体分别与最接近的分类群中的共生体具有 95.6%和 96.7%的序列相似性,是新的共生体。此外,我们还提供了证据表明 Coxiella 样共生体似乎是主要共生体。
