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,...
Abstract Recently, the first record of Borrelia associated with reptiles in Mexico was published; however, no studies have been done to assess role Mexican ticks as potential vectors this group. Amblyomma dissimile is a hard tick mainly amphibians and country. The aim study evaluate presence A. from Mexico. We collected 60 individuals attached 16 Rhinella horribilis. DNA extracted all specimens were screened individually for by amplification fragment 16S rDNA an additional flagellin gene....
Abstract Fleas and ticks represent the two main groups of ectoparasites that infest companion animals. In particular, flea Ctenocephalides felis several members Rhipicephalus sanguineus complex are vectors a wide range pathogens on American continent. They competent for genus Rickettsia , which encompass at least 15 pathogenic obligate intracellular bacteria colonize endothelial cells vertebrates. Mexico, 10 species belonging to three have been detected in six from dogs 9 32 states country....
(1) Background: Chagas disease is the main neglected tropical in America. It estimated that around 6 million people are currently infected with parasite Latin America, and 25 live endemic areas active transmission. The causes an economic loss of USD 24 billion dollars annually, a 75,200 working years per year life; it responsible for ~12,000 deaths annually. Although Mexico country recorded 10,186 new cases during period 1990–2017, few studies have evaluated genetic diversity genes could be...
: Localized cutaneous leishmaniasis is a neglected vector-borne disease that has become serious public health problem in the Yucatan Peninsula. Although more than 60% of cases originate from state Quintana Roo, it one least explored areas terms incriminating vectors Leishmania parasite. Additionally, have increased substantially region recent years. For this reason, we and provided primary evidence DNA sand fly species four localities during outbreaks Roo. We also contributed information on...
Abstract Soft ticks are neglected competent vectors of a wide range pathogenic microorganisms, among which bacteria the genera Rickettsia and Borrelia stand out. In Mexico, previous studies have shown presence member Ornithodoros talaje complex in Virginia opossum ( Didelphis virginiana Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae Kerr) from southeastern Mexico. However, its specific identification has not been achieved. Two D . were treated private clinic during period April–May 2022. Tick larvae manually...
Las garrapatas blandas representan un grupo desatendido de ectoparásitos asociadas con una amplia gama vertebrados. En México se han reportado 24 especies, la mayoría parasitando murciélagos. Varias especies son vectores competentes microorganismos patógenos. Por esta razón, el objetivo del presente trabajo fue identificar murciélagos Tuxpan Rodríguez Cano, Veracruz, México. Los fueron capturados usando redes niebla y inspeccionados visualmente para detectar presencia garrapatas....
The Trypanosomatidae family encompasses around 24 genera of unicellular protozoans, many which are transmitted by various hematophagous arthropods, particularly members the Orders Diptera and Hemiptera. Fleas ticks—an understudied group ectoparasites—have been shown to be hosts a wide crescent variety trypanosomatid species. Further, fleas ticks companion animals have neglected in surveillance despite proximity human populations anthropophagous habits these can potentially act as vectors...
In this study, we report the presence of a female Amblyomma americanum tick attached to former resident East Coast United States who moved Mexico city. The amplification and sequencing gene fragments 16S-rDNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 corroborated identification species tick. Additionally, DNA Rickettsia amblyommatis was confirmed. This work is first an exotic genus in traveler from US represents second record imported humans Mexico.
