Resumen:
The deer ked Lipoptena mazamae (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) (Rondani), is a
blood-feeding obligate ectoparasite of several species of deer and
brocket. However, at present little information is available about its
role as a vector of hemoparasites. Nonetheless, it is considered a
competent vector for the transmission of Bartonella species. The aim of
this study was performing the morphological and molecular identification
of ked flies and to carry out the detection of Bartonella. We collected
specimens from China, Campeche, Mexico associated with white-tailed
deer. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), of COI, gltA and rpoB
genes, we were able to obtain the first barcode for L. mazamae from
Mexico and identified a new species of Bartonella which was found with a
prevalence of 73%. The data obtained in this study confirmed the
presence of L. mazamae associated with white-tailed deer and its
possible role as vector of Candidatus Bartonella odocoilei n. sp. in
Mexico and we considered that it may also be present in white-tailed
deer populations in the U.S.A. Additional investigations into Bartonella
species associated with deer ked could provide further insight into
their pathogenicity and its role as a zoonotic agent.
