Abstract
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is an acute infectious disease present throughout the American continent. In Brazil, it is known as Brazilian spotted fever (FMB - Febre Maculosa Brasileira), and, due to its nonspecific symptomatology, it has high lethality rates, reaching 70% in the state of São Paulo. FMB is caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii and its transmission to humans occurs…

Functional characterization of the PMI and XylA proteins of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, BP.TT
Abstract
Citrus canker provides a drop in citrus fruit yield and quality as a result of a lack of efficient control and eradication measures. It is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp citri (Xcc), of fast dispersion and high degree of virulence. In a work previously performed by our research group, a mutant of Xcc was produced by deletion of the treA gene, present in a single copy in t…

Abstract
In addition to carrying pathogens, ticks also harbor commensal and mutualistic microorganisms, which may be either obligate or facultative. Recent studies showed that alterations in tick microbiota composition may influence fitness and alter pathogen acquisition, facilitating or hindering colonization. In Brazil, Amblyomma sculptum and Amblyomma aureolatum are vectors of Rickettsia ricket…
