摘要

Highlights ? Spotted fever is an emergent neglected disease in Brazilian Pampa. ? Rickettsia spp. was investigated in a spotted fever focus in Brazilian Pampa. ? Rickettsia parkeri was detected in Amblyomma dubitatum ticks. ? Rickettsia parkeri seems the major agent of spotted fever in Brazilian Pampa. Abstract Spotted fever is an acute febrile illness, which is considered severely underreported and misdiagnosed in the Brazilian Pampa, caused by tick-borne Rickettsiae . Here, we report an eco-epidemiological investigation of Rickettsia spp. in ticks from a spotted fever focus in Toropi, southern Brazil. Ticks were collected from capybara carcasses and processed individually to obtain genomic DNA. Rickettsia was investigated using PCR that amplified the rickettsial fragments of the gltA , ompA and htrA genes. DNA from Rickettsia parkeri was found in four of 14 Amblyomma dubitatum ticks collected from capybara carcasses in Toropi and the nearby municipality of Quevedos. We also tested 210 A. dubitatum ticks obtained from road-killed capybaras of other localities from the Pampa biome; none of them were positive for Rickettsiae . Thus, in Rio Grande do Sul, two Rickettsia species can be potentially associated to spotted fever: Rickettsia sp. strain Atlantic Rainforest, associated with Amblyomma ovale ticks in the Atlantic Rainforest biome, and R. parkeri , associated both with Amblyomma tigrinum and A. dubitatum ticks in the Pampa biome. Our results reinforce that R. parkeri may be the agent associated with spotted fever in the Brazilian Pampa.

Dubitatum蜱虫;他们都没有对Rickettiae阳性。因此,在Rio Grande Do Sul中,两种Rickettsia物种可能与被察觉的发烧有关:Rickettia Sp。菌株大西洋雨林,与Amblyomma ovale蜱虫在大西洋雨林生物群系中,以及帕尔梅姆·泰格尼姆和A. Dubitatum在Pampa Biome中蜱虫相关联的R. Parkeri。我们的成果加强了R. Parkeri可能是巴西潘帕中发现的斑点发烧的代理人。
