Abstract: Amblyomma rotundatum Koch is a parthenogenetic tick usually associated with reptiles and amphibians. However, relatively few studies on occurrences of ticks in wild reptile populations in Brazil have been produced. The aim of this study was to analyze the presence of ticks associated with reptile species in the Grussaí restinga, in the municipality of São João da Barra, state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Between December 2010 and January 2011, 131 individuals belonging to nine species of reptiles of the order Sq… Show more

“…These results may have been influenced by the fact that snakes captured in the field sometimes spend several weeks in regional serpentaria and only later are sent to the Institute Vital Brazil, by which time ticks may have detached. However, the rare field studies that exist report that only a few individual snakes are parasitized by ticks in nature (Pontes et al ., ; Viana et al ., ).…”

“…Existem também registros do parasitismo por A. rotundatum em animais exóticos, como por exemplo, répteis em cativeiro (ARAGÃO, 1936;EVANS;MARTINS;GU-GLIELMONE, 2000) e em serpentes da Família Viperidae (RODRIGUES et al, 2002). No Estado do Rio de Janeiro, na Restinga do Grussaí, foi realizado o primeiro registro do parasitismo por A. rotundatum nos répteis Tropidurus torquatus e Philodryas olfersii como novos hospedeiros (VIANA et al, 2012).…”

“…Já Santos et al (2012) utiliza resíduos agroindustriais, batata e cenoura, para produção de amiloglucosidase por Aspergillus awamori , em fermentação a 30 ºC por 72 h, sem agitação com pH inicial de 4,2. Nos ensaios com resíduo do processamento de cenoura, o melhor resultado de atividade enzimática obtido foi de 65,98 U.mL -1 , e nos ensaios com meios contendo 50% do resíduo de cenoura e 50% de resíduo de batata, o melhor resultado foi 55,8 U.mL -1 .…”
