Fundamental causes of vector-borne pathogen transmission are complex, with dynamics reliant on biological characteristics of arthropod vectors, vertebrate hosts, and associated pathogens. Ticks have long been a source of pathogen transmission to and from reservoir species, such as rodents and companion animals, including dogs and livestock. An argasid tick that is associated with bats, Carios kelleyi [formerly Ornithodoros ], has been suspected as a vector for tick-borne pathogens among bat populations for years and gained prominence in 2004 when human blood was found in a nymph collected from a house in Iowa. Carios kelleyi has recently been implicated as a vector of Borrelia, Bartonella and Rickettsia species due to positive identification within collected ticks. Common hosts for these bat ticks in the western United States are big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus), which often roost in close proximity to people in human-made structures. The immune system of bats has multiple properties that allow them to be asymptomatic carriers of pathogens that have been documented to spillover into human populations. When bats enter torpor, it leaves them at a greater risk to be inundated by ectoparasites and therefore subjected to increases in pathogen transmission. Few studies exist that investigate the interaction between bacterial pathogens of C. kelleyi and known bat hosts. We collected 182 samples from 17 different bat species. Of those, 9 (5.0%) were positive for Borrelia spp., 13 (10.4%) for Bartonella spp., and 4 (2.2%) for Rickettsia spp. Because the big brown bat has a high affinity for roosting in peridomestic environments, has evidence of infection with all three pathogens tested (and potentially rabies), its occurrence represents a significant public health threat.
