spp. and spp. are amongst the most important tick-transmitted bacteria that can cause zoonotic disease in various hosts including ruminants and humans.
In this study, 16srRNA, , and sequences were respectively used to screen Anaplasmataceae family, spp., and spp. in tick samples (n= 100) collected from 100 domestic ruminants including 50 sheep and 50 cattle in Jiroft City, southeast of Iran, between June and August 2021.
two genera were predominant among the ticks including spp (64%; 43% from sheep and 21% from cattle) and spp (36%; 22% from cattle and 14% from sheep); all ticks were adult and 73% of them were male. DNA of Anaplasmataceae was detected in 17% (17/100) of the ticks collected from cattle (18%; 9/50) and sheep (16%; 8/50). spp. was not found in the samples, but two ticks were positive for spp.; all were positive for spp. belonged to the cattle (4%; 2/50).
This study shows that Anaplasmataceae strains are circulating via ticks among domestic ruminants in the study area, emphasizing the need for effective tick control strategies by livestock farmers, health, and veterinary authorities. Surveillance, molecular characterization and further sequencing-based studies are crucial for informed control and prevention efforts.
[具体菌属1]和[具体菌属2]是最重要的蜱传播细菌，可在包括反刍动物和人类在内的各种宿主中引起人畜共患病。
在本研究中，分别使用16srRNA、[具体基因1]和[具体基因2]序列，对2021年6月至8月间从伊朗东南部吉罗夫特市100头家养反刍动物（包括50只绵羊和50头牛）采集的蜱样本（n = 100）进行检测，以筛查无形体科、[具体菌属1]和[具体菌属2]。
蜱中两个属占主导，包括[具体菌属1]（64%；43%来自绵羊，21%来自牛）和[具体菌属2]（36%；22%来自牛，14%来自绵羊）；所有蜱均为成虫，其中73%为雄性。从牛（18%；9/50）和绵羊（16%；8/50）采集的蜱中，17%（17/100）检测到无形体科DNA。样本中未发现[具体菌属1]，但两只蜱对[具体菌属2]呈阳性；所有[具体菌属2]阳性均属于牛（4%；2/50）。
本研究表明，无形体科菌株通过蜱在研究区域的家养反刍动物中传播，强调了家畜养殖者、卫生和兽医当局需要采取有效的蜱控制策略。监测、分子特征分析和进一步的基于测序的研究对于明智的控制和预防工作至关重要。
