Abstract

Ehrlichia muris and Anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA were detected using nested PCR among Ixodes persulcatus collected in Novosibirsk, Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions and in blood samples of small mammals from Novosibirsk and Sverdlovsk re- gions. Two genetic variants of A. phagocytophilum were revealed in blood samples and ticks from Novosibirsk region.

Highlights

Ehrlichia muris and Anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA were detected using nested PCR among Ixodes persulcatus collected in Novosibirsk, Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions and in blood samples of small mammals from Novosibirsk and Sverdlovsk regions
Two genetic variants of A. phagocytophilum were revealed in blood samples and ticks from Novosibirsk region
16S рРНК A. phagocytophilum выявил два генетических варианта анаплазм, один их которых был обнаружен только в таежных клещах в Новосибирской области и соответствовал генетическому варианту, детектированному ранее в Китае в I. persulcatus

Summary

Introduction

Ehrlichia muris and Anaplasma phagocytophilum DNA were detected using nested PCR among Ixodes persulcatus collected in Novosibirsk, Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk regions and in blood samples of small mammals from Novosibirsk and Sverdlovsk regions. В настоящее время в таежных клещах обнаружено два вида эрлихий и анаплазм: Ehrlichia muris и A. phagocytophilum. E. muris были обнаружены в таежных клещах на северо-западе России [8], а также в Пермской [26], Тюменской, Омской, Новосибирской областях и в Алтайском крае [6].
