Abstract

Ehrlichia minasensis, a pathogen of cattle in Brazil, was detected in genomic DNA of a female Dermacentor albipictus feeding on a moose (Alces alces) in west-central Saskatchewan, Canada. This bacterium has not previously been confirmed in ticks in Canada. It is unknown whether moose are reservoirs for E. minasensis.

摘要

米纳斯埃立克体是巴西牛的一种病原体，在加拿大萨斯喀彻温省中西部一头正在吸食驼鹿（美洲驼鹿）血液的雌性白纹革蜱的基因组DNA中被检测到。此前在加拿大的蜱虫中尚未证实存在这种细菌。尚不清楚驼鹿是否为米纳斯埃立克体的宿主。
