detection of a novel spotted fever group rickettsia in amblyomma parvum ticks (acari: ixodidae) from argentina.the present study evaluated the rickettsial infection in amblyomma parvum ticks collected in northwestern córdoba province, argentina. each tick was subjected to dna extraction and tested by polymerase chain reaction (pcr) targeting fragments of the rickettsial genes glta and ompb. nine (69.2%) out of 13 adult ticks yielded expected pcr products for the two rickettsial genes. products from the ompb pcr were sequenced, generating dna sequences 100% identical for the nine pcr-positive ticks. three ...200717768597
infection by rickettsia bellii and candidatus "rickettsia amblyommii" in amblyomma neumanni ticks from argentina.the tick species, amblyomma neumanni (acari: ixodidae) is the most frequent tick parasitizing humans in northwestern argentina. the present study evaluated the rickettsial infection among 55 a. neumanni adult free-living ticks collected in dean funes, córdoba province. ticks were individually processed by the hemolymph test with gimenez staining, isolation of rickettsia in vero cell culture by the shell vial technique, and polymerase chain reaction (pcr) targeting the citrate synthase rickettsia ...200717264991
