AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers extracted DNA from ticks found on capybaras in southern Brazil to study Ehrlichia and Anaplasma.
- Sequencing certain genes revealed a new species of Ehrlichia and a new species of Anaplasma.
- The specific tick species responsible for transmitting these pathogens has yet to be identified.
Article Abstract
We amplified Ehrlichia and Anaplasma DNA from Amblyomma dubitatum tick-infested capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) in southern Brazil. Sequencing of 16S rRNA, sodB, and groEL indicated a novel Ehrlichia species, and sequencing of 16S rRNA from 2 capybaras indicated a novel Anaplasma species. The tick vectors remain unknown.
