Abstract：
Morphological anomalies are considered a rare phenomenon among natural tick populations. New cases of abnormalities in ticks are being described, such as body assymetries, nanism, gynandromorphism and limb malformations. The tick removed from a cat was morphologically identified to species and developmental stage. The time of feeding on the host was determined. The specimen was tested using PCR and Real-Time PCR methods for the presence of the common tick-borne pathogens: Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia spp, Borrelia spp., Neoehrlichia mikurensis, Rickettsia spp. For visualisation of the anomalous structures, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed. The tick was identified as a slightly engorged adult female of I. ricinus exhibiting ectromely of leg I on the left side of the idiosoma. The specimen was tested positive for two medically important pathogens: A. phagocytophilum and N. mikurensis. The case report describes a rare case of a morphological anomaly in an I. ricinus tick from Poland.
摘要：
形态异常被认为是自然蜱种群中的罕见现象。正在描述新的蜱异常病例，比如身体伪君子，纳米主义,性腺畸形和肢体畸形。从猫身上取出的蜱在形态上被鉴定为物种和发育阶段。确定在宿主上喂食的时间。使用PCR和Real-TimePCR方法对标本进行了测试，以确定是否存在常见的tick传播病原体：吞噬细胞无性体，巴贝西亚，疏螺旋体属。,米库伦希特氏菌,立克次体属。为了可视化异常结构，进行扫描电子显微镜(SEM)。the虫被鉴定为I.ricinus的成年雌性，在idiosoma的左侧表现出i腿的外行。该标本对两种医学上重要的病原体进行了阳性检测：吞噬细胞菌根和N.mikurensis。病例报告描述了来自波兰的I.ricinustick的形态异常的罕见病例。
