Description:
A new spiroplasma isolated from Ixodes pacificus collected in Oregon was serologically and morphologically distinct from known spiroplasmas. The new spiroplasma could also be isolated in tick cell cultures. Discovery of a new fastidious mycoplasma in ticks offers opportunities to explore the possible role of these agents in human and animal diseases.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tully, J G -- Rose, D L -- Yunker, C E -- Cory, J -- Whitcomb, R F -- Williamson, D L -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 May 29;212(4498):1043-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7233197" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
