Epidemiology of capybara-associated Brazilian spotted fever.

Epidemiology of capybara-associated Brazilian spotted fever.

BACKGROUND:Brazilian spotted fever (BSF), caused by the bacterium Rickettsia rickettsii, has been associated with the transmission by the tick Amblyomma sculptum, and one of its main hosts, the capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris).
