Rickettsia detection in Thailand

Linda’s comment:  There are many many strains of Lyme.  The species from different countries makes it difficult to find the right treatment….PCR analysis revealed Rickettsia bacteria in two Haemaphysalis species. This is a first time support for Thailand.

Excerpt:

In this study, we identified two Haemaphysalis species present at the Khao Yai
National Park in Thailand and investigated the presence of rickettsia in these
ticks.
