摘要

在这项研究中，我们报告了一名移居墨西哥城的美国东海岸前居民身上附着的雌性美洲双足蜱的存在。16S-rDNA和细胞色素c氧化酶亚基1基因片段的扩增和测序证实了蜱的种类鉴定。此外，还证实存在甲状立克次体的DNA。这项工作是首次在从美国到墨西哥的旅行者身上报告的一种外来蜱虫属蜱虫，也是墨西哥第二次记录的一种进口蜱虫附着在人类身上。

A story of a lone star tick: an imported case of Amblyomma americanum (Linnaeus, 1758) infected with Rickettsia amblyommatis that parasitized a US traveler returning to Mexico.

In this study, we report the presence of a female Amblyomma americanum tick attached to a former resident of the East Coast of the United States who moved to Mexico city. The amplification and sequencing of gene fragments of the 16S-rDNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 corroborated the identification of the species of the tick. Additionally, the presence of DNA of Rickettsia amblyommatis was confirmed. This work is the first report of an exotic tick of the genus Amblyomma in a traveler from the US to Mexico and represents the second record of an imported tick attached to humans in Mexico.
