very heterogeneously in humans in Latin America. The objective of this study was to review …

Due to their close interaction with both wildlife and humans, free‐ranging domestic animals
are well‐suited to act as conveyors of zoonotic pathogens. Yet, although cats Felis catus are …

Abstract Bats (Mammalia, Chiroptera) represent the second largest group of mammals. Due

Abstract Antibodies against Spotted Fever Group (SFG) Rickettsia and Coxiella burnetii,
investigated through indirect antibody immunofluorescence tests, were detected in serum …

Cooperative research that addresses infectious disease surveillance and outbreak
investigations relies heavily on availability and effective use of appropriate diagnostic tools …

In addition to zoonotic viral pathogens, bats can also harbor bacterial pathogens, including
hemoplasmas (hemotropic mycoplasmas) and Coxiella burnetii. The present study aimed to …
