A new spiroplasma isolated from Ixodes pacificus collected in Oregon was serologically and morphologically distinct from known spiroplasmas. The new spiroplasma could also be isolated in tick cell cultures. Discovery of a new fastidious mycoplasma in ticks offers opportunities to explore the possible role of these agents in human and animal diseases.
从俄勒冈州采集的太平洋硬蜱中分离出的一种新的螺旋体,在血清学和形态学上与已知的螺旋体不同。这种新的螺旋体也可以在蜱细胞培养物中分离出来。在蜱中发现一种新的苛求支原体,为探索这些病原体在人类和动物疾病中可能发挥的作用提供了机会。
