Background: Ticks are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of vertebrates. Since many tick identification studies are based on the analysis of 16S rDNA, 12S rDNA and ITS-1, 2 rDNA genes, we aimed to compare the performance of these molecular markers

The fatal cases of spotted fever reported in some Brazilian municipalities are generally associated with the presence of ticks and capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris). The urban forest fragments where this rodent is present are of great concern. We
