Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 499-510, September 2023., 2023 A higher number of ticks was collected in suburban than in urban areas, being Ixodes frontalis the most commonly detected species. The results have significant implications for public health since most Rickettsia spp. detected are zoonotic. This is the first report of the detection of Borrelia spp. and Rickettsia spp.
