Abstract Background Amblyomma is the third most diversified genus of Ixodidae that distributed across Indomalayan, Afrotropical, Australasian (IAA), Nearctic and Neotropical biogeographic ecoregions, reaching in Neotropic its highest diversity. There have been hints previously published phylogenetic trees from mitochondrial genome, nuclear rRNA, combinations both morphology or plus species southern cone South America, might be sister-group to rest world. However, a stable framework for...
The Amblyomma marmoreum complex includes afrotropical species, such as sparsum, a three-host tick that parasitizes reptiles, birds, and mammals, is recognized vector of Ehrlichia ruminantium. However, the lack morphological, genetic ecological data on A. sparsum has caused considerable confusion in its identification. In this study, we used microscopy metagenomic approaches to analyze ticks collected from puff adder snake (Bitis arietans) southwest Senegal (an endemic rickettsioses area)...
The genus Amblyomma is the third most diverse in number of species within Ixodidae, with practically half its distributed Americas, though there are also occurring Africa, Asia, and Australia. Within genus, several complexes veterinary public health importance. cajennense complex, represented by six a wide distribution, from Texas to northern Argentina. We combined two sequencing techniques generate complete mitogenomes belonging complex: genome skimming long-range PCRs methods. Thus, we...
The toads Rhinella spp. are in constant contact with humans and domestic animals commonly parasitized by ticks, which also potential vectors of pathogenic microorganisms, such as apicomplexans rickettsia. However, little is known about microorganisms associated toad ticks. In this work, we molecularly evaluated the presence Rickettsia hemogregarines ticks horribilis R. humboldti Colombian Caribbean, finding two different species Rickettsia: colombianensi strain one close to bellii. case...
Abstract The Amblyomma marmoreum complex includes some Afrotropical species, such as sparsum , a three-host tick that parasitizes reptiles, birds, and mammals, is recognized vector of Ehrlichia ruminatum . However, the lack morphological, genetic ecological data on A. has caused considerable confusion in its identification among members. In this study, we used microscopy metagenomic approaches to analyze A ticks collected from puff adder snake ( Bitis arietans ) southwest Senegal (an endemic...
