Collaborating With Community Scientists Across Arkansas to Update Tick Distributions and Pathogen Prevalence of Spotted Fever Group Rickettsia and Ehrlichia

Ashley P. G. Dowling et al.

Summary: Tick-borne diseases have increased in recent years, and active surveillance is needed to understand tick and pathogen distributions. A community science effort in Arkansas successfully surveyed ticks and identified the prevalence of tick-borne disease-causing pathogens.

Ticks on humans in an Atlantic rainforest preserved ecosystem in Brazil: Species, life stages, attachment sites, and temporal pattern of infestation

Adriane Suzin et al.

Summary: This study presents a detailed description of tick exposure and attachment to researchers and field staff in the largest preserved inland Atlantic rainforest in Brazil over a five-year period. The results show that nymphs of Amblyomma coelebs were the main tick species biting humans, while A. ovale, the vector tick for Rickettsia parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest, had a very low rate of biting humans.

Biodiversity of Potential Vectors of Rickettsiae and Epidemiological Mosaic of Spotted Fever in the State of Parana, Brazil

Liliane Silva Duraes et al.

Summary: Spotted Fever Rickettsioses (SFR) are diseases caused by bacteria of the genus Rickettsia, mainly transmitted by ticks. The eco-epidemiological dynamics of SFR in Brazil, particularly in the state of Parana, show a complex relationship with environmental factors and socio-economic indicators. Public health initiatives are needed to better understand the vulnerability factors and dynamics of SFR in Parana.

A new species of soft tick from dry tropical forests of Brazilian Caatinga

Sebastian Munoz-Leal et al.

Summary: A new species of Ornithodoros, O. tabajara n. sp., is described based on laboratory-reared larvae and adult specimens collected in the Brazilian Caatinga. This new species shares ecological niche with O. rietcorreai and is distinguishable by unique morphological characteristics. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that O. tabajara n. sp. is the sister taxon of O. rietcorreai, supporting the hypothesis of sympatric speciation.

Potential impacts of air temperature rise in the hydric balance of Brazilian Pampa biome

Najila Souza da Rocha et al.

Summary: The study in Alto Camaqua demonstrates that climate change has led to water deficit in the region, especially during summers, which could have negative impacts on family livestock production. The findings suggest that the effects of climate change are already being felt, regardless of future predictions.

The Brazilian Cerrado is becoming hotter and drier

Gabriel S. Hofmann et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the Brazilian Cerrado has experienced significant warming trends over the past few decades, with relative humidity decreasing by approximately 15%, potentially leading to a reduction in nocturnal dewfall and impacting the survival of many plants and animals. These climate changes could have a high impact on biodiversity and potentially cause ecosystems to collapse.
