Abstract

In North America, human granulocytic anaplasmosis is caused by the bacteriumAnaplasma phagocytophilum (Ehrlichiaceae),which is primarily transmitted by the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say (Acari: Ixodidae) (Dahlgren et al. 2011). The native range of I. scapularis has been expanding in recent years, with significant populations recently detected in Midwestern U.S. states such as Ohio (Wang et al. 2014). Ixodes scapularis is a vector of several pathogens including Borrelia burgdorferi (Spirochaetaceae), Borrelia miyamotoi, A. phagocytophilum, Babesia microti (Babesiidae), and deer tick virus (DTV) (Flavivirus) (a close relative to Powassan virus) that causes encephalitis (Soneshine et al. 2002). As the range of I. scapularis expands through Ohio, there has been an effort to document the prevalence of B. burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease (Wang et al. 2014). Lyme disease is the most commonly diagnosed vector-borne disease in the eastern United States (Rossi et al. 2015) under active surveillance. In contrast, little effort has been directed at documenting the presence ofA.phagocytophilum in the same vector, even though human granulocytic anaplasmosis can be fatal and I. scapularis has been documented feeding on small Ohio mammalian reservoir hosts for over a decade (Wilder & Meikle 2004). The entomology program at the U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine regularly conducts pathogen surveillance in ticks (e.g., Foley & Reeves 2014, Taylor et al. 2016). Our goal was to determine the presence and prevalence of A. phagocytophilum in I. scapularis from Ohio. All ticks were collected as part of the B. burgdorferi surveillance project across Ohio. The initial results of this survey were published by Wang et al. (2014) who only discussed the surveillance of B. burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease, and new records of I. scapularis. This study focused on the prevalence of A. phagocytiphilum, which was not considered by Wang et al. 2014). In total, 425 adult

美国俄亥俄州蜱类嗜吞噬细胞无原体检测
在北美洲,人类粒细胞无浆体病是由嗜吞噬无浆体菌(埃立克菌科)引起的,该菌主要由黑腿蜱肩胛硬蜱(Acari:Ixodidae)传播(Dahlgren等人,2011)。近年来,肩胛骨隐球菌的本土范围一直在扩大,最近在俄亥俄州等美国中西部各州发现了大量种群(Wang等人,2014)。肩胛硬蜱是几种病原体的载体,包括伯氏疏螺旋体(螺旋体科)、米亚莫托伊疏螺旋体、嗜吞噬细胞巴贝虫(巴贝虫科)和引起脑炎的鹿蜱病毒(DTV)(黄病毒)(Powassan病毒的近亲)(Soneshine等人,2002)。随着肩胛骨隐球菌的范围在俄亥俄州的扩大,人们一直在努力记录莱姆病病原体伯氏杆菌的流行情况(Wang等人,2014)。莱姆病是美国东部最常见的媒介传播疾病(Rossi等人,2015),正在积极监测中。相比之下,尽管人类粒细胞无浆体病可能是致命的,而且十多年来,人们一直在记录肩胛骨I以俄亥俄州小型哺乳动物宿主为食(Wilder&Meikle 2004),但很少有人致力于记录同一载体中嗜吞噬细胞的存在。美国空军航空航天医学院的昆虫学项目定期对蜱虫进行病原体监测(例如,Foley&Reeves 2014,Taylor等人2016)。我们的目标是确定俄亥俄州肩胛骨隐球菌中嗜吞噬细胞A.的存在和流行率。所有的蜱虫都是作为俄亥俄州伯氏杆菌监测项目的一部分收集的。这项调查的初步结果由王等人发表。(2014),他只讨论了莱姆病病原体伯氏菌的监测和肩胛骨隐球菌的新记录。这项研究的重点是吞噬细胞的流行率,王等人没有考虑这一点。2014)。总共425名成年人

期刊介绍: The Journal of Agricultural and Urban Entomology (JAUE) (Journal of Agricultural Entomology, Jan 1984 - Oct 1998 volumes 1-15) is published under the auspices of the South Carolina Entomological Society (SCES). The Journal publishes contributions of original research concerning insects and other arthropods of agricultural and urban importance to include those affecting humans, livestock, poultry, and wildlife. JAUE is particularly dedicated to the publication of articles and notes pertaining to applied entomology, although it will accept suitable contributions of a fundamental nature related to agricultural and urban entomology.
