We detected the DNA of an Anaplasma bovis-like bacterium in blood specimens from 4 patients from the United States with suspected tickborne illnesses. Initial molecular characterization of this novel agent reveals identity to A. bovis-like bacteria detected in Dermacentor variabilis ticks collected from multiple US states.
我们从 4 名来自美国的疑似蜱传病患者的血液标本中检测到了一种类似牛无形体的细菌的 DNA。对这种新型病原体的初步分子特征分析显示,它与从美国多个州采集的革螨属(Dermacentor variabilis)蜱中检测到的类似牛无形体的细菌具有同源性。
