摘要: The present study aimed to expand knowledge regarding the molecular characterization of R. sanguineus s.l. in Portugal and screen for ticks naturally infected with E. canis. A total 113 were collected questing or attached domestic wild animals from 18 administrative regions mainland Portugal. All analyzed 16S rRNA partial sequences obtained showed high genetic similarities specimens belonging temperate lineage. These revealed eight haplotypes (H1‒H8), a distance ranging 0.3% 1.4%. convenience sample representing approximately 75% all was tested presence canis by qPCR dsb gene. No found be this pathogen. Accordingly, further studies are required determine role lineage maintenance transmission, as well elucidate if different other tick species act vectors dogs
