From May to November 2013, ticks were collected from wild and domestic hosts that were sampled by convenience in different localities of El Salvador. Among 48 localities, in total 1181 ticks were collected from 200 vertebrate animals, comprising 13 species of wild hosts (amphibian, reptiles, mammals) and five species of domestic mammals, plus four samples from humans and four samples from the environment. Through morphological analysis (corroborated by molecular analyses in a few cases), the following ten tick species were identified: Amblyomma dissimile, Amblyomma mixtum, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma cf. parvum, Amblyomma sabanerae, Amblyomma scutatum, Dermacentor dissimilis, Dermacentor nitens, Rhipicephalus microplus, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato. Among a sample of 211 tick specimens tested for rickettsial infection by molecular methods, we identified: ‘Candidatus Rickettsia colombianensi’ in 10% of the A. dissimile ticks and 11% of the A. scutatum ticks; Rickettsia amblyommatis in 77% of the A. mixtum ticks, 50% of the A. cf. parvum ticks, 8% of the D. nitens ticks, and 11% of the Amblyomma spp. nymphs; and Rickettsia bellii in 3% of the A. dissimile ticks and 17% of the A. ovale ticks. The tick fauna of El Salvador is currently represented by 12 reported species.

2013年5月至2013年11月，从萨尔瓦多不同地区的野生和家养寄主采集s，为方便起见对其进行了采样。在48个地区中，总共从200种脊椎动物中收集了1181个tick，其中包括13种野生宿主（两栖动物，爬行动物，哺乳动物）和5种驯养的哺乳动物，再加上人类的四个样本和环境的四个样本。通过形态分析（通过分子分析在少数情况下证实），以下十个蜱物种鉴定：花蜱dissimile，花蜱mixtum，花蜱卵形，花蜱参见 孢子虫，花蜱sabanerae，花蜱scutatum，Dermacentor dissimilis，Dermacentor nitens，Rhipicephalus microplus和Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato。在通过分子方法测试的立克次体感染的211个滴答样本中，我们鉴定出：' Candidatus Rickettsia colombianensi'占10％的异曲霉and和11％的角皮tick虫；立克次体amblyommatis在77％A. mixtum蜱，所述的50％A.比照 孢子虫蜱，所述的8％D.鲷蜱，和11％的花蜱属。若虫 和贝氏立克次体在3％的A. dissimile壁虱和17％的A.卵形壁虱中。萨尔瓦多的壁虱动物群目前有12种已报道物种的代表。
