为了解生活在意大利节肢动物高风险地区的红鹿体内某些人畜共患蜱传病原体的流行情况，采用PCR方法检测了60头红鹿的血液中蜱传病原体。嗜吞噬细胞疏螺旋体，伯氏疏螺旋体，贝氏柯克斯体，土拉热弗朗西丝氏菌和皮罗拉菌。34只（56.67%）动物对一种或多种病原体呈阳性。特别是24只（40%）红鹿为A.嗜吞噬细胞线虫16株（26.67%），发散巴氏线虫6株（10%）。伯内特氏菌，B型2例（3.33%）。布格多费里公司未观察到F阳性反应。土拉热。13只（21.67%）动物同时感染两种或三种病原体，红鹿为A.嗜吞噬细胞菌和B.发散，但不是B。burgdorferi。这是C.产于意大利中部的burnetii阳性红鹿。猎人可能有感染的风险，无论是通过受感染的蜱虫，并在受感染的鹿科动物尸体敷料。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
To estimate the prevalence of some zoonotic tick-borne pathogens in red deer (Cervus elaphus) living in Italian areas with high risk of arthropod exposure, blood samples from 60 red deer were tested by PCR for A. phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi s.l Coxiella burnetii, Francisella tularensis, and piroplasms. Thirty-four (56.67%) animals resulted positive for one or more pathogens. In particular, 24 (40%) red deer were positive for A. phagocytophilum, 16 (26.67%) for Babesia divergens, 6 (10%) for C. burnetii, 2 (3.33%) for B. burgdorferi s.l. No positive reaction was observed for F. tularensis. Thirteen (21.67%) animals resulted co-infected by two or three pathogens.Red deer is confirmed as competent reservoir of A. phagocytophilum and B. divergens, but not of B. burgdorferi. This is the first report of C. burnetii-positive red deer in central Italy. Hunters may be at risk of infection both through infected ticks and during the infected cervids carcasses dressing.
