Rickettsia helvetica in Dermacentor reticulatus Ticks
We report on the molecular evidence that Dermacentor reticulatus ticks in Croatia are infected with Rickettsia helvetica (10%) or Rickettsia slovaca (2%) or co-infected with both species (1%). These findings expand the knowledge of the geographic distribution of R. helvetica and D. reticulatus ticks.
متن کاملDetection and differential display of expressed genes by DDRT-PCR.
~The first two authors contributed equally to the establishment of the method and to the results obtained. 4present address: Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, MaxDelbr~ick-Haus, 13122 Berlin-Buch, Germany. Analysis of gene expression is a central aim in most studies in molecular and cell biology. Interest in tissue-specific gene expression and, in particular, in changes in the expression patterns occurr...
متن کاملRickettsia slovaca in Dermacentor marginatus ticks, Germany
To the Editor: Dermacentor spp. ticks are found in many countries in Europe, and are vectors for several pathogens, including Francisella tularensis, Coxiella burnetii, Rickettsia spp., and Babesia canis (1,2). Because Dermacentor marginatus ticks require warm dry habitats, these ticks are found in only a few areas in southern Germany, mainly in the Rhine and Main valleys (3). However, these ti...
متن کاملNonrandom Distribution of Vector Ticks (Dermacentor variabilis) Infected by Francisella tularensis
The island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, is the site of a sustained outbreak of tularemia due to Francisella tularensis tularensis. Dog ticks, Dermacentor variabilis, appear to be critical in the perpetuation of the agent there. Tularemia has long been characterized as an agent of natural focality, stably persisting in characteristic sites of transmission, but this suggestion has never b...
متن کاملSpotted-Fever Group Rickettsia in Dermacentor variabilis, Maryland
Three-hundred ninety-two adult Dermacentor variabilis were collected from six Maryland counties during the spring, summer, and fall of 2002. Infection prevalence for spotted fever group Rickettsia was 3.8%, as determined by polymerase chain reaction. Single strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis followed by sequencing indicated that all infections represented a single rickettsial ta...
