To study the presence of Bartonella bacilliformis in ticks collected from two wild mammals in Madre de Dios, Peru.
A total of 110 ticks were collected. Among the 43 Amblyomma spp. extracted from the 3 Tapirus terrestris only 3 were positive for B. bacilliformis. In addition, 12 out of the 67 Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus obtained from the 3 Pecari tajacu were positive for B. bacilliformis. For the first time B. bacilliformis have been detected in arthropods other than Lutzomyia spp. Further studies are required to elucidate the possible role of ticks in the spread of South American Bartonellosis.
研究从秘鲁马德雷德迪奥斯的两种野生哺乳动物身上采集的蜱中是否存在杆菌状巴尔通体。
共采集到110只蜱。从3只南美貘身上提取的43只钝缘蜱属蜱中,只有3只对杆菌状巴尔通体呈阳性。此外,从3只白唇西貒身上获得的67只微小牛蜱中有12只对杆菌状巴尔通体呈阳性。首次在罗蛉属以外的节肢动物中检测到杆菌状巴尔通体。需要进一步研究以阐明蜱在南美巴尔通体病传播中的可能作用。
