Piroplasmids (order Piroplasmida) are a diverse group of tick-borne protozoa that may cause disease in animals and occasionally humans. Novel Piroplasmida clades species have been found wild from Brazil based on the phylogenetic assessment near-complete 18S rRNA, mitochondrial heat-shock protein genes. For instance, putative novel Babesia has detected capybaras Amblyomma ticks three Brazilian states. The present work aimed to describe, using assessments distinct molecular markers, this...
ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to investigate the occurrence of Leishmania spp., hemotropic Mycoplasma tick-borne pathogens (TBP), and co-infection in dogs with clinical signs suggestive visceral leishmaniasis (VL). It also determine factors associated infection map distribution co-infected an endemic area Northeast region Brazil. Blood samples from 168 were evaluated for serological analysis Anaplasma Ehrlichia Babesia molecular assays platys, canis, spp. In analysis, 29.8% 5.9%...
Brazilian spotted fever (BSF) is the most important tick-borne diseases affecting humans in Brazil. Cases of BSF have recently been reported Goiás state, midwestern All cases confirmed by reference laboratories seroconversion to
Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are the largest rodents on Earth. While capybaras hosts for various tick species, there is limited information regarding tick-borne pathogens they can carry. We investigated presence of piroplasmids and Ehrlichia spp. in their associated ticks two peri-urban areas Goiás state, central-western Brazil. Blood samples collected from 23 were used to investigate stained-blood smears by PCR. Ticks identified morphologically also tested using PCR same pathogens....
This study was carried out from February 2020 to September 2021 in Parque Nacional das Emas (PNE), a national park located the Cerrado biome, midwestern Brazil, as well surrounding rural properties. Serum and tick samples were collected dogs, terrestrial small mammals, humans. Ticks also environment. Dogs infested with Rhipicephalus linnaei adults, whereas mammals by immature stages of Amblyomma spp., triste, dubitatum, coelebs. vegetation belonged several species genus Amblyomma, including...
