Outbreaks of RMSF are perpetuated by heavy brown dog tick infestations in and around homes. During 2009\u20132015, there were 61 RMSF cases and 23 deaths in a single community of Sonora (Community A).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>An integrated intervention was carried out from March\u2013November 2016 aimed at reducing tick populations with long-acting acaricidal collars on dogs, environmental acaricides applied to peri-domestic areas and RMSF education. Tick levels were measured by inspection of community dogs to monitor efficacy of the intervention. A similar neighborhood (Community B) was selected for comparison and received standard care (acaricide treatment and education).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The prevalence of tick-infested dogs in Community A declined from 32.5% to 8.8% (p&amp;lt;0.01). No new cases of RMSF were identified in this area during the subsequent 18 mo. By comparison, the percentage of tick-infested dogs in Community B decreased from 19% to 13.4% (p=0.36) and two cases were reported, including one death.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Community-based interventions using an integrated approach to control brown dog ticks can diminish the morbidity and mortality attributable to RMSF.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/trstmh\/trz114","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,7]],"date-time":"2019-12-07T12:12:47Z","timestamp":1575720767000},"page":"293-300","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Community-based prevention of epidemic Rocky Mountain spotted fever among minority populations in Sonora, Mexico, using a One Health approach"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"114","author":[{"given":"Gerardo","family":"Alvarez-Hernandez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of Sonora, Blvd. Luis D.
