Resumo:
Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacteria Rickettsia rickettsii, with infections occurring in humans and dogs. The prominent tick vector of RMSF, Dermacantor variabilis, and another potential vector, Rhipacephalus sanguineus, are prevalent in Texas. The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of past infections by testing for IgG antibodies to R. rickettsii in dogs in an animal shelter in Harris County using an immunofluorescence assay (IFA) test. We found that 12.6% (24) of 191 dogs tested had a positive IFA test at 1:64 serum dilution, indicating infection at some time in the past. We also sampled the ticks present on dogs in the animal shelter to understand the prevalence of potential vector species. Of a total of 58 ticks, 86% were D. variabilis and the remaining 14% were R. sanguineus. The results of this study demonstrate that RMSF has the potential to be, and may already be, endemic to the Harris County area. Public health actions such as heightened surveillance and education that RMSF is present would be appropriate in the Harris County area.^
