    Rickettsial diseases in Brazil and Portugal : occurrence, distribution and diagnosis.
    (2005) Galvão, Márcio Antônio Moreira; Silva, Luiz Jacintho da; Nascimento, Elvira Maria Mendes; Calic, Simone Berger; Sousa, Rita de; Bacellar, Fátima
    The present study is an update review on the occurrence and diagnosis of rickettsial diseases in Brazil and Portugal, aiming at promoting their epidemiological surveillance in both countries. A literature review was carried out and unpublished data of laboratories and surveillance systems were presented. The results described the occurrence of rickettsial diseases and infections in Brazil and Portugal, including other new and still poorly understood rickettsial infections. Current diagnostic methods were discussed. As in many other countries, rickettsial diseases and infections seem to be an emerging public health problem. Treated as a minor problem for many decades, the interest in these infections has increased in both countries but further studies are needed to establish their role as a public health problem.

    Enfermedades rickettsiales : ¿Un problema de salud pública en América Latina?
    (2013) Galvão, Márcio Antônio Moreira; Padilha, Amanda de Freitas
    Para que una enfermedad sea considerada un problema de salud pública, los parámetros epidemiológicos son magnitud, vulnerabilidad y trascendencia. Si se considera sólo magnitud y vulnerabilidad basadas en la incidencia de las enfermedades rickettsiales en América Latina y en la ausencia de una vacuna efectiva contra esta clase de enfermedades, se puede decir que las enfermedades rickettsiales no son una prioridad ni un problema de salud pública. Sin embargo, si se investigan otros parámetros epidemiológicos se puede tener otra visión acerca de estas enfermedades. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar mediante un estudio histórico retrospectivo, los factores de riego epidemiológicos en las enfermedades rickettsiales, para confirmar nuestra hipótesis sobre su relevancia en salud pública.
