Abstract in Portuguese
O estudo objetivou realizar um levantamento de doenças transmitidas por carrapatos em amostras de humanos e animais domésticos oriundos do Estado do Espírito Santo. Foram estudadas as Riquétsioses, Erliquiose, Babesiose, Borreliose, e especificamente em cães a Hepatozoonose canina. Três expedições científicas foram realizadas, onde foram coletadas amostras de sangue de humanos (n=201), cães (n=92) e eqüídeos (n=27). As amostras foram testadas utilizando-se os ensaios de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI) e ELISA Indireto, dependendo do antígeno de eleição. A Reação em Cadeia de Polimerase (PCR) foi realizada utilizando primers específicos para os gêneros dos agentes pesquisados. Foi possível concluir que os municípios estudados podem ser considerados endêmicos para as zoonoses pesquisadas

Abstract in English
This study aimed to perform a survey on tick-borne diseases in blood samples from humans and domestic animals from the State of Espírito Santo. The following diseases were studied: Rickettsiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, Borreliosis, and specifically in dogs, Canine Hepatozoonosis. Three scientific expeditions were performed, where blood samples from humans (n=201), dogs (n=92) and equids (n=27) were collected. Samples were tested using Indirect Immunofluorescence Assays (IFA) and Indirect ELISA, depending on the antigen. Polymerase Chain Reactions (PCR) were performed using specific primers to the genera of the surveyed agents. We concluded that the studied municipalities can be considered endemic areas to the surveyed zoonosis
