Abstract
- In the present work, we report for the first time the presence of an emerging rickettsial agent in Mexico, Rickettsia asembonensis, recorded in the cat flea (Ctenocephalides felis felis) collected in dogs from the states of Morelos and Veracruz. Possible implications for public health and its contribution to the biodiversity of the country are discussed.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest Authors declare to have no conflict of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
