Abstract

Louse flies or deer keds, Lipoptena spp., are widespread in Neotropical cervids, but the vector-borne pathogens of louse flies had only been previously reported in the Northern hemisphere. This is the first report of Bartonella spp. in deer louse flies (Lipoptena mazamae) in the neotropics collected from gray brocket deer ( Mazama gouazoubira ) in Southern Brazil. DNA from Bartonella sp. was detected in all 429 L. mazamae collected from 11 road-killed gray brocket deer. The same sequences of DNA of Bartonella spp. were identified in samples. Gray brocket deer are abundant in Brazil, so Bartonella-infected Lipoptena spp. may be widely distributed in the neotropics.

摘要

虱蝇或鹿虱，扁虱属，在新热带区的鹿类中广泛分布，但虱蝇传播的病原体此前仅在北半球有报道。这是首次在新热带区从巴西南部灰短角鹿（Mazama gouazoubira）采集的鹿虱蝇（马氏扁虱，Lipoptena mazamae）中发现巴尔通体属细菌。在从11只道路死亡的灰短角鹿采集的429只马氏扁虱中均检测到了巴尔通体属细菌的DNA。在样本中鉴定出了相同序列的巴尔通体属细菌DNA。灰短角鹿在巴西数量众多，因此感染巴尔通体的扁虱属可能在新热带区广泛分布。
