Molecular identification of zoonotic Rickettsia species in Ixodidae parasitizing wild lagomorphs from Mediterranean ecosystems

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e992-e1004, July 2022., 2022
Abstract A survey study was carried out to identify tick species parasitizing wild lagomorphs in Mediterranean ecosystems in southern Spain and to determine the occurrence of Rickettsia species present in these ticks in this region. A total of 1304 European wild rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and 58 Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) were individually ...

Molecular identification of Theileria equi, Babesia caballi, and Rickettsia in adult ticks from North of Xinjiang, China

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 2219-2224, November 2021., 2021
One hundred nineteen tick samples obtained from horses in Xinjiang, China, to investigate the situation of pathogens by hard ticks. Theileria equi was detected in 1 tick, Babesia caballi was detected in 18 ticks. Among this, the mixed carriage rate of Theileria equi and Rickettsia was 0.8% (1/119), the mixed carriage rate of Babesia caballi and ...
