Aeromonas<\/jats:italic> infections are believed to be transmitted via minor wounds or the consumption of fresh fish. However, after the detection of Aeromonas hydrophila<\/jats:italic> in ticks in areas endemic to Japanese\u2010spotted fever (JSF), a novel transmission route of A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic> (i.e., via tick bites) has been proposed. We investigated the prevalence of A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic> in ticks in areas endemic and not endemic to JSF in the Mie Prefecture, Japan.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Methods<\/jats:title>We collected ticks from endemic and nonendemic areas in summer and winter and assessed them for presence of A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic> using polymerase chain reaction.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Six A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic> isolates were obtained from 95 ticks in endemic areas, whereas one A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic> isolate was obtained from 142 ticks in non\u2010endemic areas, in summer. All ticks that harboured A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic> were Haemaphysalis longicornis<\/jats:italic> (H.L); these ticks were almost at the larval stage and also carried Rickettsia<\/jats:italic> spp. in the endemic area. In contrast, 51 and 41 ticks in the endemic and non\u2010endemic areas were captured in winter, respectively; A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic> was not detected in these.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>This study revealed the prevalence of tick\u2010borne A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic>. Therefore, the risk of transmission of A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic> via a tick bite should be considered in the following conditions: areas abundant in H. L. harbouring Rickettsia<\/jats:italic> spp., in areas endemic for JSF, presence of ticks in the larval stage and during the summer season.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/tmi.13847","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,29]],"date-time":"2022-12-29T11:30:03Z","timestamp":1672313403000},"page":"151-156","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Epidemiological
