“…R. colombianensi' in ticks collected on R. marina from Amapá state. The tick A. rotundatum is an obligate parthenogenetic species, although there are six reports of adult males, two males in the laboratory [44] and six in the Amazon region parasitizing Tropidurus sp., Boa constrictor, Iguana iguana, Chelonoidis denticulatus and B. atrox [30,36,[44][45][46][47]. Most publications on A. rotundatum are simple records of its occurrence with some additional data on prevalence and intensity of infestation in the Cerrado, Atlantic forest and Amazon biomes [22,23,31,34,48].…”

Ticks are important ectoparasites and can transmit a wide variety of pathogens to animals and humans worldwide. These ectoparasites are the most important vectors of diseases causing pathogens in domestic and wild animals, and the second for man. In Brazil, Spotted Fever is the only disease transmitted to humans by ticks, while for animals we can highlight babesiosis, ehrlichiosis and anaplasmosis. Although ticks are found in all of Brazil’s biomes, little is known about its diversity and host-relations in the Amazon biome. The existing gaps and the lack of research indicate that the diversity of ticks and their possible pathogens are underestimated in the Brazilian Amazon. Therefore, in order to guide the next studies in the Amazon biome, we present in this chapter a compilation of the records of hard ticks and soft ticks parasitizing wild and domestic animals, and humans. We present the general list of ticks for this biome, their distribution, hosts and importance for public health and veterinary. Finally, the ixodofauna found in the Brazilian Amazon and presented here does not match the vertebrate diversity of this biome, which is one of the largest on the planet. Therefore, more acarologists and epidemiologists are needed in this region.

“…Foram coletados sete exemplares de carrapatos (duas fêmeas adultas e cinco ninfas) da superfície corporal do "sapo-cururu" da espécie R. icterica (Figura 1), com o auxílio de uma pinça e imediatamente conservados em álcool 70%. A identificação dos ectoparasitos foi realizada no Laboratório de Doenças Parasitárias da Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, por meio de microscópio estereoscópio OLYMPUS BX 41®, sendo os adultos identificados de acordo com a chave dicotômica de Barros-Battesti (BAR-ROS-BATTESTI; ARZUA; BECHARA, 2006) enquanto as ninfas foram identificadas segundo Martins et al (2010).…”

Anfíbios anuros são comumente parasitados por carrapatos da espécie Amblyomma rotundatum, os quais possuem alta predileção por animais ectotérmicos. Fêmeas e ninfas ingurgitadas de A. rotundatum foram coletadas em condições naturais a partir de um espécime de “sapo-cururu” da espécie Rhinella icterica. A identificação dos carrapatos foi feita através de características morfológicas. Este é o primeiro relato do parasitismo deste carrapato em sapos desta espécie no Município de Maricá, Região Metropolitana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

“…The 74 tick species found in Brazil are distributed in nine genera (Guimarães, Tucci, & Barros-Battesti, 2001). The genus Amblyomma is the most common in the Amazon Biome (Gianizella, Moraes, Nascimento, & Martins, 2018b). Ticks of this genus have already been observed parasitizing different groups of animals in the Amazon: wild birds (Ogrzewalska, Uezu, & Labruna, 2010;Martins, Fecchio, & Labruna, 2014;Lima et al, 2018), chelonians (Labruna, Camargo, Terrassini, Schumaker, & Camargo, 2002;Soares et al, 2015;Gianizella et al, 2018b), crocodilians (Labruna et al, 2005;Witter et al, 2016;Gianizella et al, 2018a), wild mammals (Martins et al, 2013;Soares et al, 2015), and even the human being (Aguirre et al, 2019).…”

This study aimed to expand knowledge about tick parasitism on wild birds in western Amazonia and provide additional records of species parasitized by ticks in the state of Acre. Birds were captured with mist nets from September 2016 to February 2017 at the Fazenda Experimental Catuaba, in Senador Guiomard, Acre State, Brazil, identified, and thoroughly inspected. Detected ticks were removed with tweezers, stored in labeled collectors containing 70% alcohol, and identified using a stereomicroscope with incident lighting and taxonomic keys at the Department of Preventive Veterinary Medicine and Animal Health of the School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science of the University of São Paulo. In total, 203 wild birds were captured, comprising nine orders and 24 families. Among them, 24 birds (11.82%) belonging to 13 species were parasitized by 44 ticks at different stages: 26 Amblyomma sp. larvae, 10 Amblyomma nodosum nymphs, four Amblyomma longirostre nymphs, and four Amblyomma humerale nymphs. This study reports for the first time nine new species of birds as hosts of ticks of the genus Amblyomma in the state of Acre, namely: Monasa nigrifrons, Hypocnemis subflava, Dendrocincla fuliginosa, Sittasomus griseicapillus, Xiphorhynchus guttatoides, Poecilotriccus latirostris, Hemitriccus flammulatus, Ramphotrigon megacephalum, and Turdus amaurochalinus. This study also records, for the first time, A. nodosum ticks parasitizing R. megacephalum and A. humerale parasitizing Momotus momota, S. griseicapillus, and X. guttatoides.
