We found B. quintana-infected body lice and seroprevalence of this microorganism in 19% of homeless persons and typhus group rickettsiae in 56%. Public health professionals should start preemptive measures and active vector control. | Notes: | [Faccini-Martinez, Alvaro A.] Univ Fed Espirito Santo, Hlth Sci Ctr, Postgrad Program Infect Dis, Vitoria, ES, Brazil.
