In this study, we have analyzed the intestinal microbial flora associated withRhipicephalus microplusticks using both culture-dependent and independent methods based on PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR–DGGE). TheR. microplusticks were collected from cattle and goats in Jiangxi, Hunan and Guizhou Provinces of China. Three distinct strains of bacteria were isolated using culture-dependent methods:Staphylococcus simulans,Bacillus subtilisandBacillus flexusstrain. Nineteen distinct DGGE bands were found using PCR–DGGE analysis, and their search for identity shows that they belonged to Rickettsiaceae, Xanthomonadaceae,Coxiellasp.,Ehrlichiasp.,Pseudomonassp.,Ehrlichiasp.,Orphnebiussp.,Rickettsia peacockii,Bacillus flexus.Rickettsia peacockiiandCoxiellagenus were the dominant strain of theR. microplusticks from cattle,Pseudomonassp. andB. flexusstrain were the most common species in all tick samples from goats.Ehrlichia caniswere detected only inR. microplusticks from Yongshun area in Hunan Province. The results indicate that the intestinal microbial diversity ofR. microplusticks was influenced by tick hosts and local differences in the sampling location and these two aspects may affect transmission of pathogen to humans and animals.
