Article Synopsis
- Studies on genetic and morphological changes in tick populations can help predict how species like Rhipicephalus sanguineus will respond to climate change, which is vital for understanding health risks associated with disease spread.
- The research focused on how altitude affects the tick's size and shape, using specimens from diverse climates in Veracruz, Mexico, and applying geometric morphometric techniques.
- Findings revealed that these ticks are adapting to higher altitudes, with significant implications for their distribution related to climate factors, particularly temperature, and highlighted the importance of monitoring these changes for future disease risk assessment.
Objective: To determine the presence of Rickettsia typhi in Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.l. and Amblyomma mixtum in southern Mexico.
