摘要: We found a diversity of Rickettsia spp. in seabird ticks from 6 tropical islands. The bacteria showed strong host specificity and sequence similarity with strains other regions. Seabird may be key reservoirs for pathogenic spp., bird hosts have role dispersing tick-associated infectious agents over large distances.
