Rectal temperature (a) and hematological values (b-d) in four horses experimentally infected with Rickettsia rickettsii, during 30Â days of monitoring. Horses 1 and 2 (Group 1) were infested with R. rickettsii-infected Amblyomma sculptum ticks. Horses 3 and 4 (Group 2) were inoculated intraperitoneally with macerated organs from R. rickettsii-infected guinea pigs. Gray areas represent the reference ranges for horses [23, 24, 40]
