摘要
More than 70 tick species are found in Brazil, distributed over five genera and including main vectors of infectious disease agents affecting both animals and humans. The genusAmblyommais the most relevant for public health in Brazil, whereinAmblyomma aureolatum,Amblyomma ovaleandAmblyomma sculptumhave been incriminated as vectors ofRickettsiaandBorreliapathogens. The objective of this study was to investigate the presence ofRickettsiaspp. andBorreliaspp. in ticks in the Brazilian mid-western savannah. DNA extraction, PCR forBorreliaspp. (flgEgene) andRickettsiaspp. (ompAandgltAgenes) and subsequent sequencing were performed. A total of 1875 ticks were collected and identified asA.sculptumexcept for twoAmblyomma coelebsticks. Molecular evidence forBorreliaspp. andRickettsia parkeriwas found inA.sculptum. This is the first molecular evidence forR.parkeriinA.sculptumticks in the Midwest region andBorreliaspp. circulating in a tick of theAmblyommagenus in Brazil.
