“…Other important factors are which tick species is analyzed and the geographical origin of these ticks. However, our findings are comparable with the results of Street and Gilfoy (2002), Muhanguzi et al (2010), and Aktas et al (2011), but the determined prevalences were higher than those determined by Fyumagwa et al (2009) who used RT-PCR as detection method.…”

“…The pools consisted of 2 to 10 ticks of one species collected from the same site. DNA extraction was performed as previously described (Fyumagwa et al 2009). Briefly, the ticks were disinfected in 70% ethanol for 10 min, rinsed with sterilized distilled water, put in a microtube, and mechanically disrupted with sterile scissors in 50 lL DNA extract buffer (10 mM Tris [pH 8.0], 2 mM EDTA, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 500 lg of proteinase K per mL).…”

A total of 3696 Ixodid ticks, collected from Hebei Province, China, were examined by a nested polymerase chain reaction for the presence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum. Forty-three (15.4%) of 280 pools tested, including 39 (14.6%) of 267 Haemaphysalis longicornis and four (30.8%) of 13 Dermacentor nuttalli, were positive, but no significant difference was found between D. nuttalli and H. longicornis (p>0.05). Sequence and phylogenetic analyses of 16S rRNA gene indicated that A. phagocytophilum in China is genetically diverse. To our knowledge, this is the first evidence of A. phagocytophilum in ticks from Hebei Province, China, and the first documentation of Anaplasma infection in D. nuttalli.

Hard ticks and tsetse flies are regarded as the most important vectors of disease agents in Sub-Saharan Africa. With the aim of screening these bloodsucking arthropods for vector-borne pathogens belonging to the family Anaplasmataceae in South-Western Ethiopia, four species of tsetse flies (collected by traps) and seven species of ixodid ticks (removed from cattle) were molecularly analysed. DNA was extracted from 296 individual ticks and from 162 individuals or pools of tsetse flies. Besides known vector-pathogen associations, in Amblyomma cohaerens ticks sequences of Anaplasma marginale and A. phagocytophilum were detected, the latter for the first time in any ticks from cattle in Africa. In addition, part of the gltA gene of Ehrlichia ruminantium was successfully amplified from tsetse flies (Glossina pallidipes). First-time identification of sequences of the above pathogens in certain tick or tsetse fly species may serve as the basis of further epidemiological and transmission studies.
