Abstract

Chigger mite larvae are well adapted parasites, mainly of vertebrates, and can play a role as potential vectors for pathogens, as is the case of the bacteria Orientia tsutsugamushi. In Brazil, 63 species of chiggers have been cataloged, eight of which were found parasitizing bats. Until now, no studies have monitored pathogens of bat-associated chigger species in the Americas. Here, we provide information about the detection of Ehrlichia sp. (16S rRNA gene) in Perissopalla ipeani Brennan larvae collected parasitizing the bat species Carollia perspicillata in Brazil.

巴西与蝙蝠有关的恙螨（恙螨科和恙螨科）中埃利希体的分子检测。

恙螨幼虫是适应性良好的寄生虫，主要寄生于脊椎动物，可作为病原体的潜在媒介，如恙虫病东方体。在巴西，63种恙螨已被编目，其中8种被发现寄生在蝙蝠身上。到目前为止，还没有研究监测美洲蝙蝠相关恙虫物种的病原体。本文报道了在巴西采集到的寄生于桃蚜（Carollia perspicillata）的伊氏体（perisopalla ipeani Brennan）幼虫中检测到埃利希体（16S rRNA基因）的情况。

期刊介绍： Experimental and Applied Acarology publishes peer-reviewed original papers describing advances in basic and applied research on mites and ticks. Coverage encompasses all Acari, including those of environmental, agricultural, medical and veterinary importance, and all the ways in which they interact with other organisms (plants, arthropods and other animals). The subject matter draws upon a wide variety of disciplines, including evolutionary biology, ecology, epidemiology, physiology, biochemistry, toxicology, immunology, genetics, molecular biology and pest management sciences.
