O termo Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever é uma denominação incorreta. Durante os anos 30, tornou-se claro que esta doença ocorreu em muitas áreas dos Estados Unidos fora da região das montanhas rochosas (Rocky Mountains). Sabe-se agora que esta doença está amplamente distribuída por todo o território dos Estados Unidos, com exceção do Havaí, bem como pelo sul do Canadá, América Central, México e regiões da América do Sul. Entre 1981 e 1996, esta doença foi notificada em todos os estados norte americanos, exceto nos estados do Havaí, Vermont, Maine e Alasca.

Portanto, se o público-alvo da tradução for o americano, sugiro deixar apenas como "spotted fever".

spotted fever
There are numerous spotted fevers. Beware of over-specifying! Since it's in horses, it's PROBABLY Brazilian spotted fever, but I don't think y ou can take a chance. The Brazilian febre maculosa is unrelated to the Rickettsiae spotted fevers. It depends entirely on the causative organism.
See table of spotted fevers at:
http://patients.uptodate.com/image.asp?file=id_pix/spotted_....
I translated a manual, "Zoonoses and Communicable Diseases Common to Man and Animals," 3d ed., for the World Health Organization, which includes the following statement:
Organisms of the genus Rickettsia may be divided into the following three groups: spotted fevers, typhus, and scrub typhus.
**The diseases in the spotted fever group are clinically similar and caused by related rickettsiae, and they are all transmitted by ticks.**
Brazilian spotted fever is a fulminating viral disease - entirely different.
I suggest that you stay out of trouble by not trying to specify any of the many possible spotted fevers unless you know the causative organism.

: The link in our own entry lists Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever - and NON of the other varieties - as occuring also in Brazil... and also in Humans, not only in small rodents...

I'm not saying wikiality should be held as scripture, but the wiki articles I linked to seem pretty convincing to me...
"Some synonyms for Rocky Mountain spotted fever in other countries include “tick typhus,” “Tobia fever” (Colombia), “São Paulo fever” or “febre maculosa” (Brazil), and “fiebre manchada” (Mexico). "

: Rocky Mountain spotted fever occurs only in dogs and small wild rodents. There do not appear to be any cases in horses. My source is the World Health Organization. Please read my entry.
