Abstract: Spotted fever group rickettsioses are emerging diseases. In some of these diseases, domestic dogs act as sentinels. Canine serological studies have demonstrated that rickettsial dispersion is concentrated in rural areas, seroprevalence being higher where human rickettsioses are endemic. In Rio de Janeiro, the Atlantic forest vegetation has been devastated by urbanization. In this context, we aimed to detect Rickettsia spp. in urban areas of the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. Sera from 130 dogs were tested by Ind… Show more

“…By molecular techniques, R. felis has been detected in different flea species, mosquitoes, mites, and ticks (both Ixodid and Argasid). These tick species include Rhipicephalus sanguineus in Brazil, Spain, Chile, China, and the Philippines [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]; Rhipicephalus bursa in Turkey [ 22 ]; Rhipicephalus turanicus in Italy [ 23 ]; Haemaphysalis flava, Haemaphysalis kitasatoe, and Ixodes ovatus in Japan [ 24 ]; Haemaphysalis sulcata in Croatia [ 25 ]; Haemaphysalis leporispalustris in the United States [ 26 ]; Haemaphysalis sp. and Rhipicephalus microplus in Malaysia [ 27 ]; Heamaphysalis bancrofti in Australia [ 28 ]; Amblyomma maculatum in the United States [ 29 ]; Amblyomma cajennense , Amblyomma humerale, Amblyomma ovale , and Amblyomma sculptum in Brazil [ 14 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]; Ixodes granulatus in Taiwan [ 33 ]; Ixodes hexagonus in Italy [ 34 ]; Ixodes ricinus in Germany, France, Spain, Romania, and Serbia [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 ]; Dermacentor nitens in Brazil and Cuba [ 21 , 41 ]; and Dermacentor variabilis and Carios capensis in the United States [ 42 , 43 ] ( Table S1 ).…”

“…It is recognized that the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii has a very high lethality profile and, in Rio de Janeiro state, it is responsible for cases with hospitalization and death in patients affected by the disease called Brazilian Spotted Fever [ 24 , 25 ]. The other rickettsiosis, with a milder clinical course, sometimes oligosymptomatic, are called Spotted Fever [ 26 , 27 ].…”
