Abstract
During routine collections between November 1999 and November 2002, three species of tick (Amblyomma tigrinum, Amblyomma triste and Rhipicephalus sanguineus) were found on humans in southern Uruguay. The finding of R. sanguineus and A. triste on humans is of particular concern because these tick species may be involved in the transmission of the pathogens causing human rickettsioses, a type of disease already known to occur in Uruguay.Entities:
