  • Title: Rickettsia africae and Novel Rickettsial Strain in Amblyomma spp. Ticks, Nicaragua, 2013.
    Author: Vogel H, Foley J, Fiorello CV.
    Journal: Emerg Infect Dis; 2018 Feb; 24(2):385-387. PubMed ID: 29350167.
    Abstract:
    We report molecular detection of Rickettsia africae in Amblyomma ovale ticks from Nicaragua and a novel rickettsial strain in an A. triste tick. Of 146 ticks from dogs, 16.4% were Rickettsia PCR positive. The presence of Rickettsia spp. in human-biting ticks in Nicaragua may pose a public health concern.
