Abstract

We investigated ticks, human blood samples, specimens of tissue and blood from small mammals using nested PCR. We de- tected high prevalence Rickettsia tarasevichiae and Rickettsia sp. RpA4 in samples of ticks Ixodes persulcatus and Dermacentor re- ticulatus, correspondingly. We observed DNA of pathogenic Rickettsia helvetica and Rickettsia slovaca in I. persulcatus and Der- macentor marginatus and DNA of Rickettsia sibirica in human blood and in blood and liver samples of small mammals.

Highlights

  • Методом двухраундовой ПЦР исследованы клещи, образцы крови людей и образцы крови и тканей мелких млекопитающих

  • Human blood samples, specimens of tissue and blood from small mammals using nested PCR

  • Несмотря на высокую частоту встречаемости R. tarasevichiae в клещах I. persulcatus, ДНК этого вида риккетсий была выявлена лишь в 3 из 168 образцов tification of rickettsiae isolated from ticks in Japan // J

Summary

Introduction

Методом двухраундовой ПЦР исследованы клещи, образцы крови людей и образцы крови и тканей мелких млекопитающих. Выявлена высокая частота встречаемости Rickettsia tarasevichiae в Ixodes persulcatus и Rickettsia sp.RpA4 в Dermacentor reticulatus. ДНК патогенных Rickettsia helvetica и Rickettsia slovaca выявлена в клещах I. persulcatus и Dermacentor marginatus. В крови человека, а также в крови и печени мелких млекопитающих обнаружена ДНК Rickettsia sibirica.
