We identified an established population of the Gulf Coast tick (Amblyomma maculatum Koch) infected with Rickettsia parkeri in Connecticut, representing the northernmost range limit of this medically relevant tick species. Our finding highlights the importance of tick surveillance and public health challenges posed by geographic expansion of tick vectors and their pathogens.
我们在康涅狄格州发现了一个已建立的海湾角蜱（Amblyomma maculatum Koch）种群感染了帕克氏立克次体（Rickettsia parkeri），这代表了这种具有医学重要性的蜱种的最北分布范围限制。我们的发现强调了蜱虫监测的重要性以及蜱虫媒介及其病原体的地理扩张所带来的公共卫生挑战。
