Isodiagnosis of blood from Rio Grande wild turkeys from southern Texas revealed a small, intraerythrocytic rickettsia, Aegyptianella pullorum Carpano, 1928, in 24 of 300 samples. Identification of this first isolate from North America was made using both light and transmission electron microscopy. It is suggested that the translocation of wild turkeys from Texas to other states could spread this pathogen to both wild birds and domestic poultry.
对来自得克萨斯州南部里奥格兰德野生火鸡的血液进行同功诊断时，在300份样本中的24份里发现了一种小型的、红细胞内的立克次氏体，即1928年卡尔帕诺发现的鸡埃及小体。利用光学显微镜和透射电子显微镜对这一来自北美的首个分离株进行了鉴定。有人提出，将野生火鸡从得克萨斯州转移到其他州可能会将这种病原体传播给野生鸟类和家禽。
