Analysis of the tick communities associated to domestic mammals in rural areas of the Yungas montane forest from Argentina
(Elsevier, 2023-04)The aim of this work was to describe the tick community associated to domestic mammals in rural areas from the Yungas lower montane forest of Argentina. The circulation of tick-borne pathogens was also analyzed. Samples ... -
Babesiosis prevalence in malaria-endemic regions of Colombia
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018-07)Background & objectives: The presence of Babesia spp in humans, bovine cattle and ticks (the transmitting vector) has not been well characterized in Colombia. Babesia infection in humans can be overlooked due to similarity ... -
Clinical and epidemiological comparison of Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis, related to Amblyomma triste and Amblyomma tigrinum, in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-07)The aim of this work was to compare the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of Rickettsia parkeri rickettsiosis related to Amblyomma triste and Amblyomma tigrinum ecological regions in Argentina. We reviewed cases ... -
Ecology of the interaction between Ixodes loricatus (Acari: Ixodidae) and Akodon azarae (Rodentia: Criceridae)
(2015-10)The present study explores associations of different factors (i.e. host parameters, presence of other ectoparasites and [mainly biotic] environmental factors) with burdens of Ixodes loricatus immature stages in one of its ... -
Factors affecting patterns of Amblyomma triste (Acari: Ixodidae) parasitism in a rodent host
(2015-07-30)Here we offer a multivariable analysis that explores associations of different factors (i.e., environmental, host parameters, presence of other ectoparasites) with the interaction of Amblyomma triste immature stages and ... -
Migration of Rhipicephalus microplus ticks among cattle
(Royal Entomology Society, 2022-11)The aim of this work was to quantitatively analyse the magnitude of the migration of Rhipicephalus microplus ticks among cattle under field conditions, in groups of bovines with different stocking rates. The role of this ... -
Molecular detection of rickettsial bacteria in ticks of the genus Ixodes from the Southern Cone of America
(Elsevier, 2020-10)To obtain information about rickettsial bacteria in ticks of the genus Ixodes from Argentina and Uruguay, specimens of I. fuscipes (previously named as I. aragaoi), Ixodes pararicinus, Ixodes sp. cf. I. affinis, and Ixodes ... -
Phylogenetic divergence between Rickettsia amblyommatis strains from Argentina
(Elsevier, 2020-02)The aim of this study was to investigate if there is a phylogenetic divergence of Rickettsia amblyommatis strains from different phytogeographic provinces of Argentina and South America. Therefore, ompA and ompB gene ... -
Tick host specificity: an analysis based on host phylogeny and tick ecological features using Amblyomma triste and Amblyomma tigrinum immature stages
(2018-05)Here we have evaluated tick host specificity with two different methodological approaches considering Amblyomma tigrinum and Amblyomma triste immatures as targets. Firstly, the Std* index was applied, which considers host ... -
Ticks infesting cattle and humans in the Yungas Biogeographic Province of Argentina, with notes on the presence of tick-borne bacteria
(2018-01)This study was performed to determine the tick species that infest cattle and humans throughout an altitudinal gradient in the Yungas Biogeographic Province of Argentina. The presence of tick-borne bacteria of the genera ... -
Ticks infesting humans in Northern Misiones, Argentina
