Abstract: In the present study, we provide new tick records from Vilhena Municipality, in the Southeast of the State of Rondônia, Northern Brazil. Ticks collected from a capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus), were identified as Amblyomma romitii Tonelli-Rondelli (1 female), and Amblyomma sp. (1 larva). Ticks collected from a harpy eagle, Harpia harpyja (Linnaeus), were identified as Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius) (16 nymphs) and Haemaphysalis juxtakochi Cooley (1 nymph). Ticks collected from a yellow-footed t… Show more

“…According to Luz et al [29] 12 (54.5%) out of 22 Rhinella marina toads captured in Amapá state, were parasitized by a total of 97 ticks (6 males, 39 females, 31 nymphs, 21 larvae) and mean intensity of 8.1 ticks per infested toad. In the Amazonian biome, A. dissimile is common on R. marina (Anura) and Boidae (Squamata) ( Table 1) [32,33,36,37] Crotalus durissus 1M; 1F [34] Lachesis muta 1 [34] Elapidae Micrurus averyi 3F [31] Micrurus lemniscatus 12M; 9F [31] Colubridade Leptophis ahaetulla 3 [33] Chironius multiventris 3 [33] Chironius scurrulus 1M; 1F [34] Chironius laevicollis 12 15M; 6F [31] Mastigodryas boddaerti 1 [33] Hydrodynastes gigas 1 7F [30] Helicops polylepis 1 [34] Leptodeira annulata 1 [34] Phimophis guerini 1F [34] Erythrolamprus reginae 1 [34] Spilotes pullatus 72 42M; 9F [31] Erythrolamprus reginae semilineatus 1 [34] Dipsadidae Xenodon severus 8 [40] Testudinidae Chelonoidis denticulatus 3M 3 2M; 42F [31,41] Chelonoidis carbonaria 1 1M; 1F 11 [32,39] Podocnemididae Podocnemis expansa 1F [39] Podocnemis unifilis 1 [39] Trachemys dorbigni 2 12F [39] Kinosternidae Kinosternon scorpioides 2F [42] including pre-attachment periods for each parasitic stage lasts approximately 350 days, as reported by Schumaker et al [43] who started a colony from one engorged female collected from the Amazonian biome. Ogrzewalska et al [37] reported Rickettsia bellii and 'Candidatus Rickettsia colombianensi' in ticks collected from Bothrops atrox from Pará state.…”

“…Many of these ectoparasites have been getting closer to and interacting more frequently with domestic animals and, consequently, human beings. Because of this interaction, current research studies have focused on Ixodidae populations as well as their interaction with hosts and the environment since these ticks have the vectorial capacity to transmit agents that can cause diseases in human beings (LABRUNA et al, 2005(LABRUNA et al, , 2010MARTINS et al, 2014).…”

“…Thus, according to Labruna (2004), ticks can act as vectors of pathogens and may also exert various deleterious effects to its host, such as anemia and anorexia, both caused by massive infestation; increased predisposition to other diseases, given by the immunosuppressive toxins present in the saliva of the tick, or secondary infection by bacteria or screw worm infestation on the site of attachment of ticks; framework of ascending paralysis, caused by neurotropic toxin, inoculated through the saliva; death by an exacerbation of the effects cited above, or all of them. Obviously, these effects will vary according to tick species and geographic area; however, they corroborate the findings reported by the owner of the animal in this study.…”
