“…The female specimens used for redescription are deposited under the number CNC 917. Aragão & Fonseca, 1951 Diagnosis Larva. Scutum subtriangular with 4 pairs of scutal setae; basis capituli very long, straight, triangular, with slightly central elevation; cornua absent; ventral basis slightly convex, with small lateral extensions similar to auriculae; hypostome and palpi very long; dental formula 3/3 to mid-length then 2/2 to basis, with all denticles sharply pointed; palpi with inconspicuous suture between articles II (femur) and III (genu); anal groove slightly apparent.…”

“…Since its original description (Aragão & Fonseca, 1951), there have been only two additional reports of this species (Labruna et al, 2003;Arzua et al, 2005). Herein, we describe the immature stages and redescribe the female of I. schulzei, based on optical and scanning electron microscopy.…”

“…Because of the nidicolous habit for most of them, males of some species have only been recovered from host nests (Kohls & Clifford, 1966;Barros-Battesti et al, 2003). Among the nine species recorded in Brazil, three are only known from females: I. amarali Fonseca, 1935, I. fuscipes Koch, 1844 and I. schulzei Aragão & Fonseca, 1951. Mendez-Arocha & Ortiz (1958 and Camicas et al (1998) placed I. schulzei in the 'loricatus' group, with at least three other species, based on their morphological similarities and hosts: I. loricatus Neumann, 1899, I. luciae Sénevet, 1940 and I. amarali.…”

Description of the immature stages and redescription of the female of Ixodes schulzei Aragão & Fonseca, 1951 (Acari: Ixodidae), an endemic tick species of Brazil

Ixodes schulzei Aragão & Fonseca, 1951 is a tick endemic to Brazil, where nine species of Ixodes Latreille, 1796 are currently known to occur. Larvae, nymphs and females of I. schulzei were obtained from a laboratory colony originating from an engorged female collected on a free-living water rat Nectomys squamipes from the Santa Branca municipality, São Paulo State. Only female ticks were obtained from engorged nymphs. Unfed immature and female adult specimens were measured and the descriptions were based on optical and scanning electron microscopy, as were drawings of some features of the larva. Both immature stages present the very long palpi and basis capituli, and the female has large, contiguous porose areas. However, the basis capituli is triangular, with a slight central elevation in the larva and nymph, whereas in the female this area is depressed. The I. schulzei types deposited at the FIOCRUZ (Instituto Oswaldo Cruz) were also examined, as was other material from collections, such as the IBSP (Coleção Acarológica do Instituto Butantan), CNC-FMVZ/USP (Coleção Nacional de Carrapatos da Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia da USP) and USNTC (United States National Tick Collection). In addition, the relationship between I. schulzei and other immature neotropical species of Ixodes is discussed.

“…schulzei was described by Aragão and Fonseca (1951), and types were deposited in the Acari collection of Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (IOC). These authors reported one engorged female (unknown host) from Teresó polis (22 o 24ЈS, 42 o 57ЈW), State of Rio de Janeiro, as holotype (IOC 481); two engorged females as paratypes, collected on the water rat Nectomys squamipes (Brants) from Tinguá, Nova Iguaç u Municipality (22 o 45ЈS, 43 o 27ЈW), Rio de Janeiro State (IOC 455 and IOC 456); and one engorged female paratype on a wild rat (unidentiÞed) from Brusque (27 o 05ЈS, 48 o 54ЈW), State of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil (IOC 476).…”

Ixodes schulzei Aragão and Fonseca was described from Brazil in 1951 based on female ticks collected on wild rats from the states of Rio de Janeiro and Santa Catarina. Since that time, there have been no additional reports of I. schulzei in the literature. We report two new records of I. schulzei: a female collected on the water rat Nectomys squamipes (Brants) from Minas Gerais State, and another female from this same host species from São Paulo State. This last specimen was engorged and oviposited fertile eggs in the laboratory. Larvae hatched from these eggs were used for subsequent infestations under laboratory conditions, as were nymphs obtained from the engorged larvae. Naive laboratory rats (Rattus norvegicus Berkenhout) and wild mice (Calomys callosus Rengger) were used to feed ticks. C. callosus was a more suitable host than R. norvegicus, as significantly more ticks (P < 0.05) were recovered and successfully molted after feeding on the former host species. A significantly (P < 0.05) greater proportion of larvae detached from C. callosus during daylight (71.3%) when compared with those that detached from R. norvegicus in the same period (54.8%). A total of nine engorged nymphs (one from R. norvegicus, and eight from C. callosus) were recovered in the infestations. All of them successfully molted to adults, which were all females. The male of I. schulzei remains unknown.
