Using molecular assays, Rickettsia slovaca, the agent of a spotted fever group rickettsia was assessed in 92/325 lice collected on 117 wild boars hunted in the far northeast of Algeria. Overall, 7/92 (7.61%) Haematopinus suis were found positive to R. slovaca. The presence of R. slovaca DNA on H. suis questions about the relationship that may exist between R. slovaca and lice.
利用分子检测方法，对在阿尔及利亚最东北部捕猎的117头野猪身上采集的325只虱子中的92只进行了评估，以检测斑点热群立克次体的病原体斯洛伐克立克次体。总体而言，92只猪虱中有7只（7.61%）被发现对斯洛伐克立克次体呈阳性反应。猪虱上存在斯洛伐克立克次体DNA引发了关于斯洛伐克立克次体与虱子之间可能存在的关系的疑问。
