Abstract

A survey of the occurrence of Ornithodoros ticks in animal burrows was conducted in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Vacuum sampling techniques were used. Four of 8 sample sites in Haiti and 10 of 70 sample sites in the Dominican Republic were positive for O. puertoricensis Fox. Positive sample sites in Haiti were usually near swine. Sites in the Dominican Republic were in drier regions of the country and were not directly associated with previous swine locations. The determination that O. puertoricensis, a potential vector and reservoir of African swine fever (ASF), is present in this region may pose a serious problem for eradication of ASF from the island of Hispaniola.

摘要

在海地和多米尼加共和国对动物洞穴中多乳突钝缘蜱的出现情况进行了一项调查。采用了真空采样技术。海地8个采样点中的4个以及多米尼加共和国70个采样点中的10个检测到波多黎各钝缘蜱呈阳性。海地的阳性采样点通常靠近猪。多米尼加共和国的采样点位于该国较干燥的地区，与先前猪的位置没有直接关联。该地区存在作为非洲猪瘟（ASF）潜在传播媒介和宿主的波多黎各钝缘蜱这一情况，可能会给从伊斯帕尼奥拉岛根除非洲猪瘟带来严重问题。
