摘要: This study was performed to determine the tick species that infest cattle and humans throughout an altitudinal gradient in Yungas Biogeographic Province of Argentina. The presence tick-borne bacteria genera Rickettsia, Ehrlichia Borrelia collected ticks also evaluated. Samples parasitizing were carried out different seasons. Questing (adults nymphs) from vegetation analyzed detect by a battery PCRs. Five hard found cattle: Amblyomma sculptum, tonelliae, hadanii, Haemaphysalis juxtakochi Ixodes pararicinus. sculptum (immature adults), A. tonelliae hadanii (larvae) one nymph I. pararicinus attached humans. Rickettsia amblyommatis detected hadanii. DNA genospecies belonging B. burgdorferi s.l. complex (phylogenetically related haplotypes previously reported aragaoi Uruguay Argentina) adults appear be more frequent on YBP Argentina, main medical importance genus this work remains unknown.
