| distribution and molecular characteristics of rickettsiae found in ticks across central mongolia. | little is known regarding tick-borne diseases in mongolia, despite having 26% of the population still living nomadic pastoral lifestyles. a total of 1497 adult unfed ticks: 261 ixodes persulcatus, 795 dermacentor nuttalli, and 441 hyalomma asiaticum, were collected from three ecologically distinct regions in central mongolia. tick pools (n = 299) containing ~5 ticks each, were tested for rickettsia and tick-borne encephalitis virus (tbev) using nested polymerase chain reaction, reverse transcrip ... | 2017 | 28153052 |
| rickettsia raoultii, the predominant rickettsia found in mongolian dermacentor nuttalli. | since the year 2005, clinical patterns resembling tick-borne rickettsioses have been noticed in mongolia. epidemiological data regarding species of the aetiological agent, tick vector, prevalence, and distribution as well as incidence of human cases throughout mongolia are still sparse to date. in order to identify rickettsia species occurring in mongolia, we investigated dermacentor nuttalli (n=179) and ixodes persulcatus (n=374) collected in 4 selected provinces. rickettsia raoultii was the pr ... | 2012 | 22784401 |
| diversity of spotted fever group rickettsia infection in hard ticks from suifenhe, chinese-russian border. | in order to investigate the diversity of spotted fever group (sfg) rickettsia infection in hard ticks, ticks were harvested from the forest areas in suifenhe city, along the chinese-russian border and conventional pcr was carried out using universal sfg rickettsia primers targeting glta and ompa genes to screen for their infection with sfg rickettsia organisms. results showed that of the 215 ticks belonging to ixodes persulcatus, haemaphysalis concinna and haemaphysalis japonica warburton, 1908 ... | 2016 | 26976703 |
| characterization of rickettsiae in ticks in northeastern china. | tick-borne rickettsioses are considered important emerging zoonoses worldwide, but their etiological agents, rickettsiae, remain poorly characterized in northeastern china, where many human cases have been reported during the past several years. here, we determined the characteristics of rickettsia spp. infections in ticks in this area. | 2016 | 27623998 |
