Abstract

: Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) were collected from 44 desert bighorn sheep ( Ovis canadensis) and 10 mule deer ( Odocoileus hemionus) in southern California, US during health inspections in 2015-16. Specimens were identified and screened by PCR analysis to determine the presence and prevalence of Bartonella, Borrelia, and Rickettsia species in ticks associated with these wild ruminants. None of the 60 Dermacentor hunteri and 15 Dermacentor albipictus ticks tested yielded positive PCR results. Additional tick specimens should be collected and tested to determine the prevalence of these confirmed or suspected tickborne pathogens within ruminant populations.

摘要

2015 - 16年美国加利福尼亚州南部进行健康检查期间，从44只沙漠大角羊（加拿大盘羊）和10只骡鹿（白尾鹿）身上采集了蜱虫（蜱螨亚纲：硬蜱科）。通过PCR分析对标本进行鉴定和筛选，以确定与这些野生反刍动物相关的蜱虫中巴尔通体、疏螺旋体和立克次体属的存在情况和流行率。60只亨特氏革蜱和15只白纹革蜱的检测标本均未得到PCR阳性结果。应收集更多蜱虫标本进行检测，以确定这些已确认或疑似蜱传病原体在反刍动物群体中的流行率。
