The chewing lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera: Amblycera and Ischnocera) of Mexico have been little studied many publications include isolated records. This paper summarizes current knowledge recorded from resulting an exhaustive search the literature published 1866 to 2017. We found 342 louse species associated with 206 bird 28 mammal species. As a result, we provide checklist Mexico, including host-parasite list their geographical distribution within country.

The genus Leptospira includes at least 69 Gram-negative, aerobic spirochetes, of which 25 are pathogenic and associated with a diverse range mammals, including members the order Chiroptera. On American continent, there six confirmed species. Among these, common vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus), ranges widely from northern Mexico to Argentina, has been reported harbor four taxa: borgpetersenii, interrogans, weilii, cf. noguchii. All these species frequently isolated beef dairy cattle,...
Leptospirosis is widespread in Mexico, yet the potential distribution and risk of disease remain unknown.
The genus Leptospira encompass 22 species of spirochaetes, with ten pathogenic that have been recorded in more than 160 mammals worldwide. In the last two decades, numbers records these agents associated bats increased exponentially, particularly America. Although order Chiroptera represents second most diverse Mexico, and leptospirosis a human veterinary problem country, few studies conducted to identify potential wildlife reservoirs. aim this study was detect presence diversity sp....
Over one hundred cases of human rickettsiosis, many fatal, are reported annually across the US-Mexico transboundary region, representing a likely undercount. Although often attributed to Rickettsia rickettsii, agent Rocky Mountain spotted fever, multiple other pathogens present in North America. We conducted multiple-host surveillance domestic, synanthropic, and sylvatic mammals their ectoparasites investigate ecology species this region. A total 499 mammals, including 83 dogs, 23 wild...
The Rhipicephalus sanguineus group encompasses at least 12 validated species of Palearctic and Afrotropical hard ticks, which are relevant in veterinary medicine public health. taxonomy R. s.s., has been particularly intensely debated, due to its wide geographic distribution, morphological variants, parasite-host associations, capacity vectorial competence for the transmission several pathogens. By sequencing mitochondrial markers, it was possible identify existence multiple lineages, among...
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is an ongoing public health crisis in Mexico, particularly states bordering the United States. The national highest incidence and mortality of RMSF occur this region, resulting a case-fatality rate that ranges annually between 10% 50%, primarily affecting vulnerable groups such as children, elderly adults, persons living poverty. Multiple biological, environmental, social determinants can explain its growing presence throughout country how it challenges...
During a study to identify zoonotic pathogens in northwestern Mexico, we detected the presence of rickettsial agent Dermacentor parumapertus ticks from black-tailed jackrabbits (Lepus californicus). Comparison 4 gene sequences (gltA, htrA, ompA, and ompB) this showed 99%-100% identity with Rickettsia parkeri.
Tick-borne rickettsioses represent a severe public health problem that has increased in recent decades by several activities place human populations contact with wide range of vectors. In particular,
Leptospira interrogans has been identified to cause leptospirosis, a widespread zoonotic disease that in domestic and wild animals. This work analyzed kidneys from two species of rodents the state Campeche, Mexico. Analyses were made by PCR using specific primers for detection DNA. The rodent tested positive Heteromys gaumeri Ototylomys phyllotis, both which are new hosts bacteria Southeastern These records provide insights into disease’s transmission should be studied carefully order...
