Resumen
El objetivo del presente estudio fue detectar la presencia de Borrelia spp. en especies degarrapatas del género Amblyomma en Argentina. Materiales y métodos. Se analizaron especímenesde garrapatas del género Amblyomma colectadas de distintas provincias de Argentina (Entre Ríos,Misiones, Formosa, Salta, Córdoba, San Luis y Buenos Aires) mediante una PCR anidada para unfragmento de 306 pb del gen fla del género Borrelia. Resultados. Se analizaron 422 ejemplares de lasespecies Amblyomma aureolatum, Amblyomma brasiliense, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma sculptum,Amblyomma tigrinum, Amblyomma tonelliae y Amblyomma triste de diversas regiones de Argentina.Todas las muestras estudiadas resultaron negativas mediante la PCR. Conclusiones. Las especiesde garrapatas del género Amblyomma analizadas en el presente estudio son de importancia en saludpública; si bien no se detectó infección con bacterias del género Borrelia, considerando los escasosantecedentes previos, futuros estudios en esta temática son necesarios en este género de garrapatas.
Objetive. The aim of the present study was to detect Borrelia spp. in different species of ticks of the genus Amblyomma from Argentina. Materials and methods. Amblyomma tick specimens collected from various provinces of Argentina (Entre Ríos, Misiones, Formosa, Salta, Córdoba, San Luis and Buenos Aires) were analyzed by nested PCR for a 306 bp fragment of the gene fla of the genus Borrelia. Results. A total of 422 tick specimens (Amblyomma aureolatum, Amblyomma brasiliense, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma sculptum, Amblyomma tigrinum, Amblyomma tonelliae and Amblyomma triste) from various regions of Argentina were studied. All samples were negative by PCR for a fragment of the gene fla of Borrelia spp. Conclusions. The tick species of the genus Amblyomma analyzed in the present study are important for public health; although infection with bacteria of the genus Borrelia was not detected. However, considering the few previous antecedents in the region, future studies on this genus of ticks are necessary.
