Rickettsia infection in Amblyomma tonelliae, a tick species from the Amblyomma cajennense complex.
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015 The present study was performed to evaluate the Rickettsia infection in Amblyomma tonelliae ticks from Argentina. All ticks were subjected to DNA extraction and tested by a battery of PCRs to amplify fragments of four rickettsial genes, 23S-5S, gltA ...

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2017 We herein describe the ambush behavior of Amblyomma sculptum (Berlese 1888), a widespread and epidemiologically important tick in Brazil. Along two years of sampling by visual search in the Brazilian Pantanal, A. sculptum ticks were observed on the vegetation and in the leaf litter. Most of the ticks were observed between 10 and 50cm above ground level

Meteorological indicators for Amblyomma cajennense and population dynamics in the Tamaulipan Biotic Province in Texas [PDF]
Journal of Vector Ecology, 2011 We studied the population dynamics of free-living ticks in the Tamaulipan Biotic Province in south Texas from March, 2005 to November, 2008. We collected 70,873 ticks using carbon dioxide traps. Amblyomma cajennense represented 93.6% of the ticks identified. A.
