| [study on the coinfection status of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and spotted fever group rickettsia in ticks from hunchun, jilin province]. | to understand the coinfection status of borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (b.b.s.l) and spotted fever group rickettsia (sfgr) in hunchun of jilin province, china. | 2006 | 16981329 |
| natural anaplasma phagocytophilum infection of ticks and rodents from a forest area of jilin province, china. | polymerase chain reaction integrated with sequence analysis was carried out to investigate the natural anaplasma phagocytophilum infection in ticks and rodents from a forest area of jilin province, china. four (4.0%) of 100 ixodes persulcatus and 2 (0.7%) of 286 dermacentor silvarum ticks collected by flagging vegetation were positive. nine (8.8%) of 102 rodents were infected, as well as 2 (2.8%) of 71 i. persulcatus parasitizing on 25 rodents. the nucleotide sequences of 1442-bp a. phagocytophi ... | 2006 | 17038691 |
| molecular detection of spotted fever group rickettsia in dermacentor silvarum from a forest area of northeastern china. | in total, 676 dermacentor silvarum olenev (acari: ixodidae) from a forest area of jilin province in northeastern china were examined by polymerase chain reaction for the presence of spotted fever group (sfg) rickettsia. the overall positive rate was 10.7%, with a 95% confidence interval from 8.3 to 13.0%. the sfg rickettsia infection was more prevalent in adults than in nymphs, and in fed ticks obtained from domestic animals than in those collected on vegetation. sequence analysis of the partial ... | 2008 | 18714877 |
| detection of francisella tularensis in ticks and identification of their genotypes using multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis. | tularemia was reported in china over 50 years ago, however, many epidemical characteristics remain unclear. in the present study, the prevalence of francisella tularensis in ticks was investigated during an epidemiological surveillance in china and then we measured their genetic diversity by conducting multiple-locus variable- number tandem repeat analysis (mlva). | 2008 | 18798995 |
