Experimental infection of horses with Rickettsia rickettsii [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2016 Rickettsia rickettsii is vectored by ticks, and some vertebrate hosts can be sources of infection to ticks during bacteremic periods. In Brazil, the main vector for R. rickettsii is the tick Amblyomma sculptum, a member of the A. cajennense complex. Horses, in turn, are one of the major hosts for A. sculptum.

Seroepidemiological survey to investigate Rickettsia rickettsii and Rickettsia parkeri in municipalities of the southeast Brazil. [PDF]
Rev Inst Med Trop Sao PauloABSTRACT Spotted fever is a tick-borne rickettsiosis caused by several Rickettsia species—including R. rickettsii, R. parkeri, and others—with varying degrees of pathogenicity. Its nonspecific symptoms often lead to misdiagnosis such as dengue. This study investigated anti-R. rickettsii and R.
