Current status and co-infection of Lyme disease borrelia and human granulocytic Anaplasma in Eurasia.

研究了土耳其、伊尔库茨克和台湾地区嗜吞噬无原体的分布及嗜吞噬无原体与莱姆病伯氏疏螺旋体的共感染情况。这两种病原体都是从土耳其和伊尔库茨克采集的蜱虫中检测到的。蜱共感染率均小于5%。在土耳其检测到的嗜吞噬单胞菌P44蛋白序列与在塞尔维亚和俄罗斯莫斯科检测到的P44蛋白序列具有相同的遗传谱系。另一方面，在伊尔库茨克检测到的一些蛋白质与日本蜱虫的蛋白质相似。在台湾鼠类中检出嗜吞噬原体和牛无形体。

Distribution of Anaplasma phagocytophilum and coinfection of A. phagocytophilum and Lyme disease Borrelia spp. in Turkey, Irkutsk, and Taiwan were examined. Both pathogens were detected from tick collected in Turkey and Irkutsk. The co-infection rate in ticks were less than 5%. P44 protein sequences of A. phagocytophilum detected in Turkey were in the same genetic lineage of these detected from Serbia and Moscow in Russia. On the other hand, some of the protein detected in Irkutsk were similar to those from ticks in Japan. A. phagocytophilum and Anaplasma bovis were detected from rodents in Taiwan.
