Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato(Ixodidae) in synantropic rodents in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Abstract: Rhipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, is responsible for maintaining and transmitting various pathogens, both in animals and human beings, and it is of great sanitary importance. This communication reports the first occurrence of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato parasitizing Rattus norvegicus in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, and it is also the first record of this tick species parasitizing Rattus rattus in Brazil. The rodents were captured from the port area, located in the city of Pelotas… Show more

“…For example, city parks have been shown to support high tick densities as well as high prevalence of tick-borne pathogens [113]. Additionally, synanthropic animals have been shown to be in frequent contact with TBPs and could thereby potentially serve as reservoirs of these diseases in urban settings where ticks are also present [114]. Nothing is known about tick activity on brownfields and other abandoned postindustrial localities, which are also part of urban landscape.…”

“…During their life cycles they are mostly found in the surrounding environment where the dogs mostly spend, that causes reinfestation. Cases of acaricide resistance have increased tick population (Winkel, 2014). An alternative method in controlling R. sanguineus tick is the use of vaccine.…”

“…Apesar de Winkel et al (2014) demonstrarem no país o parasitismo de estágios imaturos de R. sanguineus em roedores sinantrópicos, no estado do RS, e esporadicamente este carrapato também ser encontrado em coelhos (Oryctolagus cuniculus) e gato doméstico, situação atribuída a locais com altas infestações de R. sanguineus, inquestionavelmente esta espécie tem o cão doméstico como seu principal hospedeiro e foi introduzido com este no Brasil no período da colonização SZABÓ et al, 2005 GUEDES et al, 2005;PINTER;SPOLIDORIO et al, 2010;KRAWCZAK et al, 2014KRAWCZAK et al, , 2016a Brasil (SABATINI et al, 2010;SPOLIDORIO et al, 2010;SILVA et al, 2011;SZABÓ et al, 2013;BARBIERI et al, 2014;KRAWCZAK et al, 2016a (SABATINI et al, 2010;SPOLIDORIO et al, 2010;MEDEIROS et al, 2011;SILVA et al, 2011;BARBIERI et al, 2014;KRAWCZAK et al, 2016c).
