Candidatus Rickettsia andeanae, a spotted fever group agent infecting Amblyomma parvum ticks in two Brazilian biomes
Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2014•SciELO Brasil
Adult ticks of the species Amblyomma parvum were collected from the vegetation in the
Pantanal biome (state of Mato Grosso do Sul) and from horses in the Cerrado biome (state
of Piauí) in Brazil. The ticks were individually tested for rickettsial infection via polymerase
chain reaction (PCR) targeting three rickettsial genes, gltA, ompA and ompB. Overall,
63.5%(40/63) and 66.7%(2/3) of A. parvum ticks from Pantanal and Cerrado, respectively,
contained rickettsial DNA, which were all confirmed by DNA sequencing to be 100 …

Adult ticks of the species Amblyomma parvum were collected from the vegetation in the Pantanal biome (state of Mato Grosso do Sul) and from horses in the Cerrado biome (state of Piauí) in Brazil. The ticks were individually tested for rickettsial infection via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting three rickettsial genes, gltA, ompA and ompB. Overall, 63.5% (40/63) and 66.7% (2/3) of A. parvum ticks from Pantanal and Cerrado, respectively, contained rickettsial DNA, which were all confirmed by DNA sequencing to be 100% identical to the corresponding fragments of the gltA, ompA and ompB genes of Candidatus Rickettsia andeanae. This report is the first to describe Ca. R. andeanae in Brazil.
