Bartonella bacilliformis has recently been described in Amblyomma scalpturatum, Amblyomma ovale and Rhipicephalus microplus collected from wild animals in the Peruvian region of Madre de Dios. In this communication, I will discuss the results of a recent study by del Valle-Mendoza et al. together with the B. bacilliformis epidemiology. Following my argumentation, I consider the presence of this microorganism in the above ticks improbable.
最近在从秘鲁马德雷迪奥斯地区野生动物身上采集的刻点钝缘蜱、椭圆钝缘蜱和微小扇头蜱中发现了杆菌状巴尔通体。在本通讯中,我将讨论德尔瓦莱 - 门多萨等人最近的一项研究结果以及杆菌状巴尔通体的流行病学情况。基于我的论证,我认为上述蜱类中存在这种微生物的可能性不大。
