Detection of Dermacentor andersoni (Acari: Ixodidae) in Brazil on a human traveler returning from the United States
Journal of Medical Entomology 58 (2), 947-949
Abstract: Only one previous record of an exotic tick on a Brazilian traveler has been reported. Here, we report the detection of Dermacentor andersoni (Stiles) in Brazil while attached to a human traveler returning from the United States. This report is the fifth record of D. andersoni as an exotic tick, and the second record of an exotic tick on a South American traveler.
