We studied the prevalence of rickettsialike organisms infection in different tick species (3154 adults) collected in several areas of the Ebro valley (Spain). The Gimenez stain showed a prevalence of rickettsia-like organisms in 38.6% of the studied ticks. Using the immunofluorescence assay, only two species, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (16.4%) and R. pusillus (19.9%) have shown organisms compatible with spotted fever group rickettsiae.
我们研究了在埃布罗河谷（西班牙）多个地区采集的不同蜱种（3154只成虫）中类立克次体生物感染的患病率。吉姆尼兹染色显示，在38.6%的研究蜱中存在类立克次体生物。使用免疫荧光试验，只有两种蜱，即血红扇头蜱（16.4%）和微小扇头蜱（19.9%）显示出与斑点热群立克次体相符的生物。
