Abstract
Spotted fever is an important disease caused by the bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii. Annually, this diseases is diagnosed throughout the American continent, where Brazil takes place with important endemic areas where lethality of the disease reaches 40% of the cases. R. rickettsii is a tick-borne-disease transmitted by Dermacentor, Rhipicephalus, and Amblyomma tick genus. The vector tick...

Abstract
Brazilian Spotted Fever (FMB) is a vector-borne zoonosis that is caused by bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii. In the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (RMSP) the vector incriminated in the transmission is the Amblyomma aureolatum tick, which depends on typical characteristics of the Atlantic Forest biome to survive. Domestic dogs are the main hosts of the adult tick stage in urban matrix ar...
