The 120-kD protein gene of Ehrlichia chaffeensis was used to characterize ehrlichial DNA from seven pools of adult Amblyomma americanum ticks. Ticks from Missouri, Kentucky, and North Carolina contained E. chaffeensis DNA of the Arkansas strain genotype. Ticks from North Carolina also contained ehrlichiae of the Sapulpa strain genotype, originally identified in Oklahoma.
恰菲埃立克体的120-kD蛋白基因被用于鉴定来自7组美洲钝眼蜱成虫的埃立克体DNA。来自密苏里州、肯塔基州和北卡罗来纳州的蜱含有阿肯色菌株基因型的恰菲埃立克体DNA。来自北卡罗来纳州的蜱还含有最初在俄克拉荷马州发现的萨普尔帕菌株基因型的埃立克体。
