This study aimed to assess the presence of Anaplasma, Ehrlichia and Rickettsia species infecting wild birds and their associated ticks in two localities: Moconá Provincial Park (MPP) and Piñalito Provincial Park (PPP), within the Atlantic rainforest ecoregion of Argentina. A total of 142 birds were captured representing 34 species, 28 genera, 15 families and five orders. Ticks were collected from 33 of these birds, comprising 19 species, 14 genera and one order. A total of 59 ticks were collected and identified as Amblyomma calcaratum (13 larvae and four nymphs), Amblyomma longirostre (31 larvae and four nymphs), Amblyomma ovale (one larva and one nymph) and Haemaphysalis leporispalustris (five larvae). All samples were screened for detection of Anaplasma, Ehrlichia and Rickettsia DNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay. Four bird species tested positive for Anaplasmataceae, with three closely related to Anaplasma and Ehrlichia species previously reported in A. calcaratum adults from a site 15 km away from MPP. The fourth Anaplasmataceae agent was phylogenetically related to Ehrlichia strains reported in Amblyomma triste from the Delta and Parana Islands ecoregion. Additionally, two Rickettsia species were detected and molecularly identified within ticks collected from birds: Rickettsia amblyommatis in A. longirostre larvae and Rickettsia rhipicephali in H. leporispalustris larvae. These findings suggest that birds may play a significant role in the spread of ticks and their associated tick‐borne pathogens across diverse biomes.
