Brazilian Spotted Fever: A Case Series from an Endemic Area in Southeastern Brazil

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  This case series study is based on a retrospective review of medical records and case notification files of patients admitted to The Hospital das Clínicas da UNICAMP from 1985 to 2003 with a confirmed diagnosis of BSF either by fourfold rise in indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) titers of IgG antibodies reactive with R.

Brazilian Spotted Fever: The Role of Capybaras

2012
Capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) are hosts for the tick species Amblyomma dubitatumand Amblyomma cajennense. The latter, popularly known in Brazil as “carrapato-estrela”, is the main vector of the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, the etiological agent of Brazilian spotted fever, the most deadly rickettsiosis in the world.

New Epidemiological Data on Brazilian Spotted Fever in an Endemic Area of the State of São Paulo, Brazil

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2009
The present work evaluated rickettsial infection in dogs and their ticks in an area endemic for Brazilian spotted fever (BSF) in the metropolitan area of São Paulo, Brazil, where the tick Amblyomma aureolatum was presumed to be the vector of the disease.

Analysis of Amblyomma sculptum haplotypes in an area endemic for Brazilian spotted fever.

Medical and veterinary entomology, 2017
Amblyomma sculptum (Ixodida: Ixodidae) Berlese, 1888, a member of the Amblyomma cajennense complex, is the major vector of Brazilian spotted fever (BSF) in southeastern Brazil. In this study, the genetic diversity of A. sculptum populations in the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil, was investigated because genetic variability in tick populations may
