Panola Mountain Ehrlichia in
Amblyomma maculatum from the United States and Amblyomma variegatum (Acari: Ixodidae) from the Caribbean and Africa.
Ralph Robinson Parker isolated R parkeri from
Amblyomma maculatum, commonly known as the Gulf Coast tick.
parkeri, recently recognized as a pathogen of humans, is transmitted by
Amblyomma maculatum (Gulf Coast) ticks (Figure).
Rickettsia parkeri forma parte de los patogenos que integran el grupo de las fiebres manchadas transmitidas principalmente por garrapatas del "Grupo de
Amblyomma maculatum".
53 grey partridges (33 domesticated and 20 wild) were infested by seven lice species (Menopon gallinae, Goniocotes gall, Menacanthus stramineus, Genero columbicola, Lipeurus caponis, Brueelia coquimbana, Coculogaster heterographus), three species of ticks (Haemaphysalis leporispalustris, Ixodes pacificus,
Amblyomma maculatum) 2 species of mites (Ornithonyssus syliarum, Dermanyssus gallinae) and a flea species (Pulex irritans).
The other species of Hepatozoon affecting dogs is Hepatozoon americanum, transmitted by the gulf coast tick
Amblyomma maculatum; the infection was described in Texas in 1978 and it is widespread in the southeastern United States where hepatozoonosis is an emerging tick borne disease (Ewing and Panciera, 2003).
Rickettsia parkeri, the causative agent of disease, was initially isolated from the Gulf Coast tick,
Amblyomma maculatum, in 1937.
tigrinum fue descrito por Koch (1844) en Brasil como sinonimo de
Amblyomma maculatum, hasta que en 1959 se efectuo una revision concluyendose que A.
(1998a) observed that Dermacentor variabilis, Rhipicephalus sanguineus,
Amblyomma maculatum and Amblyomma cajennense were susceptible to infection by Steinernema feltiae and Steinernema riobravus.
