In several urban and peri‑urban areas of Brazil, populations Amblyomma sculptum dubitatum ticks are maintained by capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris). some these areas, this host tick species associated with Brazilian spotted fever (BSF), a lethal human disease caused the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii. work, we evaluated risk exposure to using four collection techniques discern host-seeking behavior. The study was carried out in 10 sites inhabited Uberlândia, BSF-free municipality...
Diagnosing canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) in Brazil faces challenges due to the limitations regarding sensitivity and specificity of current diagnostic protocol. Therefore, it is urgent map new antigens or enhance existing ones for future techniques. Immunoinformatic tools are promising identification potential epitopes antigen candidates. In this study, we evaluated peptides selected by epitope prediction CVL serodiagnosis ELISA assays. Ten B-cell were immunogenic silico, but two...
Ticks are obligate hematophagous parasites that can transmit to vertebrate hosts several pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa and helminths. Among these agents, some Borrelia species cause disease in humans other hosts; therefore, they have medical veterinary health importance. To gather additional information on Brazil, the current study aimed detect presence of Ornithodoros cavernicolous ticks collected September 2019 from cement pipes used by bats as shelter a farm located...
