Complementary data on four methods for sampling free-living ticks in the Brazilian Pantanal

Abstract: In this study, four methods for sampling free-living ticks that are used in ecological and human tick-bite risk studies were evaluated. Cloth dragging, carbon dioxide traps and visual searches and inspection of plant litter on the ground were used in field and forest areas within the Brazilian Pantanal. Among the three tick species collected, Amblyomma sculptum predominated, followed by Amblyomma parvum and Amblyomma ovale. Dragging, a cheap and simple technique, yielded the highest numbers of ticks, particula… Show more

“…Foram realizadas pesquisas acarológicas por meio da técnica de armadilha atrativa de CO 2 (Wilson et al, 1972;Ramos et al, 2014). A utilização das armadilhas de CO 2 é sensível e eficiente para a coleta de todos os estádios de A. sculptum e A. dubitatum (Souza et al, 2006).…”

“…No presente estudo foi observada uma maior quantidade de larvas e ninfas em relação aos adultos, o que está de acordo com os estudos realizados por Barreira et al (2014) e Ramos et al (2014). Apesar de não poderem ser identificadas em nível de espécie, as larvas pertenciam ao gênero Amblyomma, sendo duas espécies já identificadas ocorrendo nessas áreas, Amblyomma fuscum (Dantas-Torres et al 2012, Aléssio et al 2012 e Amblyomma rotundatum (Santos et al 2002, Dantas-Torres et al 2008.…”

“…The greatest impact of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) is focused on domestic animals, particularly in cattle in which every year severe economic losses are reported (Jonsson 2006; Grisi et al 2014). Humans, especially individuals who perform activities related to the field or livestock farming, or whose homes are close to farming properties are more susceptible to tick bites (Ramos et al 2014; Otranto et al 2014). Some of the tick-transmitted pathogens are of exceptional importance because of the high morbidity and mortality (in both humans and animals), long-lasting or permanent neuropsychiatric sequelae and impact on animal production (Mediannikov and Fenollar 2014; Baneth 2014).…”
