causes Q fever, a zoonotic and vector-borne disease. Ticks serve as vectors for this bacterium. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of infection in ticks in Shahr-e-Rey County, Tehran Province.
From December 2016 to November 2017, 179 ticks were collected on sheep at animal husbandry facilities and slaughterhouses located in Shahr-e-Rey, Tehran Province. Tick samples were morphologically identified and evaluated for the presence of the IS1111 gene using real-time PCR.
Ticks were classified into four genera: (66.48%), (23.47%), (7.26%), and (2.79%). Furthermore, 35.20% of the ticks were nymphs.All 77 ticks were pooled by species, and was found in 22.08% (n= 17). was the most prevalent tick infected with .
The distribution of and reports of Q fever from various regions of the country strongly suggest that the monitoring system should give this disease more attention.
引发Q热,这是一种人畜共患的媒介传播疾病。蜱虫是这种细菌的传播媒介。本研究旨在确定德黑兰省雷伊市蜱虫中感染的流行情况。
2016年12月至2017年11月,在德黑兰省雷伊市的畜牧设施和屠宰场,从绵羊身上采集了179只蜱虫。对蜱虫样本进行形态学鉴定,并使用实时PCR评估IS1111基因的存在情况。
蜱虫分为四个属:(66.48%)、(23.47%)、(7.26%)和(2.79%)。此外,35.20%的蜱虫为若虫。所有77只蜱虫按种类合并,在22.08%(n = 17)中发现。是感染最普遍的蜱虫种类。
该国不同地区的分布情况以及Q热报告强烈表明,监测系统应更加关注这种疾病。
