    Author: Toledo A, Jado I, Olmeda AS, Casado-Nistal MA, Gil H, Escudero R, Anda P.
    Journal: Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis; 2009 Oct; 9(5):465-8. PubMed ID: 18945192.
    Abstract:
    A total of 1482 adult ticks collected from vegetation and animals in central Spain in 2003-2005 were tested for the presence of Coxiella burnetii by polymerase chain reaction and subsequent reverse line blot hybridization (PCR-RLB). C. burnetii was identified in 7.7% of questing ticks (80/1039) and 3.4% of ticks collected from animals (15/443) belonging to four species: Hyalomma lusitanicum, Dermacentor marginatus, Rhiphicephalus sanguineus, and R. pusillus. These findings show an active role of ticks in maintaining C. burnetii in wild and peridomestic cycles in central Spain.
