The association between the occurrence of Amblyomma variegatum ticks and streptothricosis was studied on the Caribbean island of Antigua. The prevalence of streptothricosis was higher on animals having A. variegatum ticks compared to that of animals not infested with A. variegatum ticks. There was a steady increase in the prevalence of severe lesions as the level of infestation with adult A. variegatum ticks increased. However the distribution of skin lesions could not be related to the predilection feeding sites of adult A. variegatum ticks.
在加勒比海岛国安提瓜岛，研究了杂色斑蜱的出现与链丝菌病之间的关联。与未感染杂色斑蜱的动物相比，感染杂色斑蜱的动物患链丝菌病的患病率更高。随着成年杂色斑蜱感染水平的增加，严重病变的患病率稳步上升。然而，皮肤病变的分布与成年杂色斑蜱的偏好取食部位无关。
