Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2020 Brazilian spotted fever (BSF), caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, is transmitted to humans mainly by the tick Amblyomma sculptum in southeastern Brazil. In most BSF-endemic areas A. sculptum populations are sustained chiefly by capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), which are also the host of another tick species, Amblyomma dubitatum, not ...
