Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Hyalomma ticks are widely distributed in semi-arid zones in Northwest China. They have been reported to harbor a large number of zoonotic pathogens.
METHODS: In this study, a total of 334 Hyalomma asiaticum ticks infesting domestic animals were collected from four locations in Xinjiang, Northwest China, and the bacterial agents in them were investigated.
RESULTS: A putative novel Borrelia species was identified in ticks from all four locations, with an overall positive rate of 6.59%. Rickettsia sibirica subsp. mongolitimonae, a human pathogen frequently reported in Europe, was detected for the second time in China. Two Ehrlichia species (Ehrlichia minasensis and Ehrlichia sp.) were identified. Furthermore, two Anaplasma species were characterized in this study: Candidatus Anaplasma camelii and Anaplasma sp. closely related to Candidatus Anaplasma boleense. It is the first report of Candidatus Anaplasma camelii in China.
CONCLUSIONS: Six bacterial agents were reported in this study, many of which are possible or validated pathogens for humans and animals. The presence of these bacterial agents may suggest a potential risk for One Health in this area.

摘要：
背景：在中国西北地区的半干旱地区，风孔菌广泛分布。据报道，它们含有大量的人畜共患病原体。
方法：在本研究中，从新疆的四个地方共收集了334个感染家畜的风琴蜱，中国西北地区,并对其中的细菌进行了调查。
结果：在所有四个地点的蜱中鉴定出一种推定的新型疏螺旋体，总体阳性率为6.59%。Sibirica立克次体亚种。蒙古,一种在欧洲经常报道的人类病原体，在中国第二次被发现。两种埃里希氏菌属（埃里希氏菌属和埃里希氏菌属。）被识别。此外，在这项研究中表征了两种无性体：假丝酵母无性体和无性体。与念珠菌无菌体密切相关。这是中国首次报道的假丝酵母。
结论：本研究报告了六种细菌制剂，其中许多是人类和动物的可能或验证的病原体。这些细菌的存在可能表明该领域对OneHealth的潜在风险。
