We report that multiple symbionts coexist inDermacentor silvarum . Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analyses, we prove thatCoxiella -like andArsenophonus -like symbionts, with 95.6% and 96.7% sequence similarity to symbionts in the closest taxon, respectively, are novel. Moreover, we also provide evidence that theCoxiella -like symbiont appears to be the primary symbiont.
