Abstract: This is a report of ticks species, parasite prevalence and infestation intensity of birds in a forest fragment (18° 56' 57" S and 48° 12' 14" W) within the Brazilian cerrado (savanna), in the municipality of Uberlândia, State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 162 birds from 26 species were captured. One adult tick, 296 larvae and 67 nymphs were found on passerine birds. Of these, it was identified 31 larvae and 27 nymphs of Amblyomma longirostre, 17 nymphs of A. nodosum, one A. cajennense larvae and one male… Show more

“…However, comparisons between the results reported in their study and the results from the present study should be made carefully, since not only do the two areas present completely different phytophysiognomies, but also the methodology used by those authors for identifying ticks needs to be reviewed (LABRUNA et al, 2007). Other studies carried out in the cerrado have also reported low prevalence of immature stages of A. cajennense and greater occurrence of Amblyomma longirostre and Amblyomma nodosum (TOLESANO-PASCOLI et al, 2010).…”

“…Many bird species have been reported to be their hosts, not only during the larval and nymph stages (BARROS-BATTESTI et al 2006) Few published papers have addressed parasitism of ticks on wild birds. The recent studies by Labruna et al (2007), Ogrzewalska et al (2009Ogrzewalska et al ( , 2010 and Tolesano-Pascoli et al (2010) in Brazil, as well as those carried out by Graham et al (2010) and Jordan et al (2009) can be highlighted. As stated by Ogrzewalska et al (2009), studies on species of ticks carried by wild birds in different ecosystems may help towards understanding their dispersion as possible vectors for disease transmission.…”

“…Recently, some studies have contributed to improve the data concerning ticks infesting Brazilian birds in the Amazon region , and Atlantic Forest (OGRZEWALSKA et al, 2008(OGRZEWALSKA et al, , 2011LABRUNA et al, 2007) and Cerrado (TOLESANO-PASCOLI et al, 2010).…”
