Experimental infection of wild boars (Sus scrofa) with Rickettsia rickettsii and evaluation of the transmission potential to Amblyomma sculptum ticks
Wild boars seroconverted to Rickettsia spp. after being infested with R. rickettsii-infected A. sculptum; however, they did not develop bacteremia and did not act as competent amplifying hosts of R. rickettsii for A. sculptum ticks.
