Dogs are sentinels in serological surveys, however, canine disease is rarely reported. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate natural infection by spotted fever group (SFG) Rickettsia spp. in dogs and ticks collected from domiciles close to forest fragments, featuring domestic\u2013wildlife interface areas. Samples from 115 dogs and 135 ixodids were assessed by polymerase chain reactions (PCR) targeting the gltA gene for Rickettsia spp. and the ompA gene for the SFG rickettsial species. One dog (0.87%; 1\/115) was positive for R. rickettsii. This dog presented nonspecific laboratory and clinical abnormalities (thrombocytopenia, hyperproteinemia, lymph node enlargement, emaciation, anorexia, and lethargy). Rickettsia parkeri was identified in 2.96% (4\/135) of the ticks (Amblyomma sculptum, A. aureolatum, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus). This study confirmed the presence of SFG bacteria in non-endemic and preserved locations, where domestic and wild populations interact. We reinforce the fact that the dog is susceptible to natural R. rickettsii infection. Although this is a rare finding, preventive measures should be taken against BSF in the studied areas. Finally, R. parkeri infection is possibly being demonstrated in A. sculptum for the first time.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612020012","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,6]],"date-time":"2020-04-06T13:17:34Z","timestamp":1586179054000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Spotted fever group rickettsial infection in dogs and their ticks from domestic\u2013wildlife interface areas in southeastern Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2703-3211","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabrina Destri Emmerick","family":"Campos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal Fluminense,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nathalie Costa da","family":"Cunha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal Fluminense,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Camila de Souza Cerqueira","family":"Machado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal Fluminense,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Niara Vanat","family":"Nadal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal Fluminense,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eloy Silva","family":"Seabra Junior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal Fluminense,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Erich Loza","family":"Telleria","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Oswaldo Cruz,  Brasil; Charles University,  Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matheus Dias","family":"Cordeiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helena Keiko","family":"Toma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"N\u00e1dia Regina Pereira","family":"Almosny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal Fluminense,  Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"reference":[{"year":"2006","series-title":"Carrapatos de import\u00e2ncia m\u00e9dico-veterin\u00e1ria da regi\u00e3o neotropical: Um guia ilustrado para identifica\u00e7\u00e3o de esp\u00e9cies.","author":"Barros-Battesti DM","key":"ref1"},{"year":"2019","series-title":"Febre Maculosa","key":"ref2"},{"issue":"11","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1307","DOI":"10.1590\/s0100-736x2017001100018","article-title":"Circula\u00e7\u00e3o de Rickettsias do Grupo da Febre Maculosa em c\u00e3es no entorno de Unidades de Conserva\u00e7\u00e3o Federais do estado do Rio de Janeiro: evid\u00eancia sorol\u00f3gica e fatores associados","volume":"37","author":"Campos SDE","year":"2017","journal-title":"Pesq Vet Bras"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"228","article-title":"Novel record of a tick Amblyomma sculptum with detection of piroplasm Rangelia vitalii DNA","volume":"13","author":"Campos SDE","year":"2018","journal-title":"Vet Parasitol Reg Stud Rep"},{"issue":"6","key":"ref5","first-page":"3787","article-title":"Seroprevalence of Rickettsia spp. and a study of the tick fauna in dogs from the municipality of Serop\u00e9dica, State of Rio de Janeiro","volume":"36","author":"Cordeiro MD","year":"2015","journal-title":"Semina: Ci\u00eanc Agr\u00e1r"},{"issue":"2","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.1590\/S0100-736X2009000200003","article-title":"First identification of natural infection of Rickettsia rickettsii in the Rhipicephalus sanguineus tick, in the State of Rio de Janeiro","volume":"29","author":"Cunha NC","year":"2009","journal-title":"Pesq Vet Bras"},{"issue":"6","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"587","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa050043","article-title":"Rocky Mountain spotted fever from an unexpected tick vector in Arizona","volume":"353","author":"Demma LJ","year":"2005","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"299","DOI":"10.12662\/2317-3076jhbs.v6i3.1940.p299-312.2018","article-title":"Febre Maculosa por Rickettsia parkeri no Brasil: condutas de vigil\u00e2ncia epidemiol\u00f3gica, diagn\u00f3stico e tratamento","volume":"6","author":"Faccini-Mart\u00ednez AA","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Health Biol Sci"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"267","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1469-0691.2008.02229.x","article-title":"Rickettsia rickettsii, Rickettsia felis and Rickettsia sp.
