Gilbert Barrantes Catalina Sánchez-Quirós Biología Amblyomma Rickettsia larva and nymph pools Tick-borne rickettsiosis is becoming a common emergent disease in many tropical countries, and the rapid detection of this disease could reduce the impact on wild life and public health. Pools of larvae and nymphs, and individual adult ticks are used for detection of Rickettsia species (Rickettsiaceae), but the number of larvae and nymphs in the pools likely affect the probability of detection of Rickettsia spp. We tested whether the number of larvae or nymphs of Amblyomma (Ixodidae) included in the pools affected the probability of detection. The number of larvae in each pool did not affect the probability of detecting Rickettsia spp., but the probability of detection increased rapidly with the number of nymphs. In this study, 20 nymphs are enough to approach a probability of 1 of detecting Rickettsia. 2019 artículo científico 0034-7744 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44965759005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/449/44965759005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/449/44965759005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/449/44965759005/44965759005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/449/44965759005/movil DOI 10.15517/RBT.V67I2SUPL.37207 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=449 Revista de Biología Tropical application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Revista de Biología Tropical (Costa Rica) Num.2 Vol.67 |
