Resumen:
Deer encompass a group of large-sized vertebrates that serve as hosts
for a wide variety of ectoparasites, mainly ticks. In Mexico, ticks have
relevance as vectors of pathogenic microorganisms, and 20 species of
hard ticks are associated with four species of deer, although only a
single study has been conducted to detect bacterial agents associated
with ticks from deer in the country. In February, 2019 three
white-tailed deers (Odocoileus virginianus) were hunted from the
locality of China from the municipality of Campeche, Mexico. The sampled
deers were parasitized by 26 ticks belonged to three species: Amblyomma
mixtum (5 female, 1 male), Amblyomma ovale (2 female, 1 male), and
Ixodes sp. cf. Ixodes affinis (15 female, 2 male). Specimens were
screened individually for Anaplasma, Borrelia, Ehrlichia, and Rickettsia
DNA by the amplification of several fragments of 16S rRNA, gltA, 17-kDa,
and flaB genes. This study report for the first time the presence of
Rickettsia sp. cf. Rickettsia monacensis in Ixodes sp. cf. Ixodes
affinis in Mexico.
