Though ticks pose a significant public health risk, until recently, little research had focused on the diversity of ticks and tick-borne diseases in Singapore. To date, only fourteen tick species in five genera have been recorded there. For the first time, Dermacentor auratus is recorded from Singapore from a range of hosts, including humans. DNA sequences are provided at 2 loci, for D. auratus, the cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) for DNA barcoding and the 16S large subunit ribosomal RNA (16S lsu rRNA). The health risk posed by D. auratus in Singapore is discussed.
尽管蜱虫对公共健康构成了重大威胁，但直到最近，针对新加坡蜱虫和蜱传疾病的多样性的研究还很少。迄今为止，那里仅记录了五个属中的 14 种蜱。首次从新加坡的一系列宿主（包括人类）中记录到了亚洲璃眼蜱。提供了 2 个基因座的 DNA 序列，对于亚洲璃眼蜱，为 DNA 条形码的细胞色素 c 氧化酶 I（COI）和 16S 大亚基核糖体 RNA（16S lsu rRNA）。讨论了亚洲璃眼蜱在新加坡带来的健康风险。
