Exploring the ecological and evolutionary relationships between Rickettsia and hard ticks in the Neotropical region
(Elsevier, 2021-06)This study addresses a meta-analysis of the distribution of Rickettsia spp. in the Neotropical region, as well as their associations with ticks and vertebrates. A total of 219 published reports on Rickettsia in ticks in ... -
First detection of “Candidatus Rickettsia wissemanii” in Ornithodoros hasei (Schulze, 1935) (Acari: Argasidae) from Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-07)The aim of this study was to assess the presence of Rickettsia in soft ticks (Acari: Argasidae) collected from insectivorous bats (Chiroptera) in Santa Fe province, Argentina. First, a subset of ticks were mounted in Hoyer’s ... -
High prevalence of “Candidatus Rickettsia amblyommii” in Amblyomma ticks from a Spotted Fever Endemic Region in North Argentina
(2016)Ticks from an endemic Spotted Fever region in Argentina were analysed by PCR for Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae. DNA of “Candidatus Rickettsia amblyommii” was found in 21.3% of Amblyomma hadanii and in 44.0% of A. neumanni. ... -
