dc.descriptionWild animals are of considerable importance in the ecology of infectious agents, as they can function as hosts and even as possible vectors. In this study, DNA from Rickettsia spp. was detected on ticks and fragments of skin collected from wild coatis with synanthropic habits in the Iguaçu National Park (INP) in the state of Paran´a in southern Brazil. Testing was carried out on a total of 566 ticks, comprising Amblyomma spp. larvae, nymphs of Haemaphysalis juxtakochi, Amblyomma brasiliense, Amblyomma coelebs, and adults of Amblyomma ovale. The samples were tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) by amplifying htrA, gltA, ompA, and ompB gene fragments to detect Rickettsia spp. A fragment of each positive sample was sequenced in both directions, submitted to Genbank for a homology search, and also used for phylogenetic analyses. Samples of A. coelebs (1.90%, 8/420), A. ovale (13%, 6/45), and ring-tailed coati skin (1%, 1/75) amplified Rickettsia spp. DNA. Through sequencing, Rickettsia bellii was observed in A. ovale, Rickettsia amblyommatis in A. coelebs, while Rickettsia rhipicephali was detected in the skin samples. Wild ring-tailed coatis with synanthropic habits in the INP and their ticks are infected by Rickettsia spp., and associations with new hosts have been described.
