Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate exposure of wild small mammals to spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsiae in Mato Grosso do Sul State, central-western Brazil. Serum samples of 68 small mammals were analyzed by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) against six Rickettsia species from Brazil. Overall, 37.5% (9/24) marsupials and 6.8% (3/44) small rodents were seroreactive to at least one of the Rickettsia species, with end point titres ranging from 64 to 512. These results suggested that wild small mammals were inf… Show more

“…In this sense, Binder et al (2017) suggested that D. albiventris participate in the maintenance of the ecological cycle of Spotted Fever Group rickettsiae in Mato Grosso do Sul. Thus, similar studies have to be encouraged in areas with great abundance of this marsupial, mainly in patches of urban or peri-urban forests, where D. albiventris is especially important because it can be involved with the eco-epidemiological chain of the Brazilian Spotted Fever (Horta et al 2007;Horta et al 2009).…”

“…COELHO et al, 2016;BINDER et al, 2017).Estudos que objetivaram comparar a sorologia de pequenos mamíferos e cães domésticos em algumas áreas endêmicas e não endêmicas no Estado de São Paulo, não encontraram diferenças significativas de soro prevalência destes animais silvestres entre estas áreas, o que mantém ainda dúvidas sobre a dinâmica de circulação das cepas de Rickettsia patogênicas nas populações de pequenos mamíferos(OGRZEWALSKA et al, 2012;MELO et al, 2016). Em nosso estudo, cinco cães domésticos foram submetidos à sorologia, e todos foram negativos.…”
