“…(Acosta 2011). In Porto Alegre, Ribeiro et al (1997) found this species in 93.2% of the infected animals; however their findings differed from those of the present study due to the fact that they analyzed stray animals. Another study found a prevalence of 67.5% among stray dogs in Goiania (Rodrigues et al 2001).…”

Occurrence of ticks in dogs in a hospital population in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil

et al. 2018

Ticks, along with fleas, are considered the main ectoparasites affecting dogs in Brazil. The literature is rich in reports on the occurrence of ticks, which are vectors of diseases in both dogs and humans. The study of the epidemiology of these arthropods provides important data that can help control the infestation in residential areas where dogs are present. Thus, the study of their occurrence in urban areas and veterinary services is very important. The aim of the present study was to determine the occurrence of ticks in dogs in a veterinary hospital population in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Over a one-year period (July 2012 to July 2013), 1483 dogs brought to veterinary services in south-eastern Brazil were examined. Among the dogs examined, 8.97% presented tick infestation, of which 100% were identified as Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato. Given that this species of tick acts as a vector for diseases, it is important that the official health services monitor the occurrence of infestation in dogs and humans, in order to identify diseases transmitted by these ticks in this region.

“…only (Labruna & Pereira 2001). This result is in agreement with other studies that reported high frequency of this tick in urban areas (Linardi & Nagem 1973, Yamamura & Vidottto 1982, Ribeiro et al 1997, Rodrigues et al 2001, Oyafuso et al 2002, Soares et al 2006.…”

“…No Brasil, cães de áreas rurais são parasitados principalmente por carrapatos do gênero Amblyomma (MASSARD et al, 1981;O' DWYER et al, 2001) que podem desempenhar papel importante na transmissão do agente para cães e também para seres humanos, enquanto em cães de áreas urbanas, R. sanguineus é o carrapato mais prevalente (MASSARD et al, 1981;RIBEIRO et al, 1997).…”

“…In urban areas, the most frequent tick species is Rhipicephalus sanguineus (RIBEIRO et al, 1997). The absence of adult ticks on the animals of the present study may have been due to the seasonality of this species, since the study was conducted in late fall, a period when R. sanguineus could be in the larval or nymph stages (SOUZA, 2008), living in small cracks in concrete or wood surfaces (DIPEOLU, 1982).…”

Domestic animals in urban areas may serve as reservoirs for parasitic zoonoses. The aim of this study was to monitor the parasitic status of household dogs in an urban area of Pinhais, in the metropolitan region of Curitiba, Paraná State, Brazil, after a one-year period. In May 2009, fecal samples, skin scrapings and ticks were collected from 171 dogs. Questionnaires were applied to the owners (sex, age, environment and anthelmintic use). In May 2010, 26.3% (45/171) of the dogs were fecal samples reanalysed. From the fecal samples, 33.3% (57/171) in 2009 and 64.4% (29/45) in 2010 were positive. The parasite species most observed were, respectively in 2009 and 2010, Ancylostoma sp., 66.7 and 44.8%, and Strongyloidesstercoralis, 26.3 and 3.4%. All the skin scrapings were negative, and no ticks or protozoa were found. There was no statistical association (p > 0.05) between positive fecal tests and age, sex or environment. In 2009 alone, dogs with a history of antiparasitic drug administration were 2.3 times more likely to be negative. A great number of replacement dogs was noticed one year later. Therefore, isolated antiparasitic treatment strategies may have no impact on parasite control, given the risk of introduction of new agents, thereby limiting the prevention strategies.
