Article Synopsis
- The Amblyomma cajennense complex ticks are highly infested and can transmit Rickettsia rickettsii, which leads to Brazilian Spotted Fever.
- An integrated tick control system was implemented on a farm near the Tietê river in São Paulo, focusing on controlling tick populations associated with domestic animals and capybaras.
- The control measures resulted in a significant decline of ticks, achieving zero infestation levels by the end of the study in 2017, with notable reductions in adult, larvae, and nymph populations during the two-year monitoring period.
