Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari: Ixodidae) is the most important ectoparasite for livestock production. It causes huge economical losses in productivity (reduction of cattle weigth gain and reduced milk production) that added to the costs with its control (acaricide treatments plus labor) adds up to 2 billions of dolars per year in Brazil and 45 millions of dolars per year in U…

Brazilian Spotted Fever (BSF) caused by rickettsiae of the spotted fever group (SFGR) and transmitted by ticks, re-emerged in the country, mainly in the Southeast. Hundreds of suspected human cases, including deaths, have been reported. Molecular researches indicate that at least three pathogenic species of SFGR, carried by fleas or ticks, circulate in ecotopes of the States of Sao Paulo …
