“…No ticks were recorded on the following bird species: Passeriformes -Myiozetetes similis, Coereba flaveola, Sicalis flaveola, Tangara cayana, Tangara sayaca, Troglodytes musculus; Columbiformes -Leptotila rufaxilla, Geotrygon montana, Columbina talpacoti; Cuculiformes -Piaya cayana. However, there are numerous records of these species in association with ticks in different biomes in Brazil (LABRUNA et al, 2007;LUGARINI et al, 2015;LUZ et al, 2016;OGRZEWALSKA & PINTER, 2016).…”

The aim of this study is to detect the presence of tick-borne agents of genera Rickettsia, Borrelia, Babesia, Ehrlichia and Anaplasma in ticks collected from native wild birds in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Birds were captured and observed carefully to find the ectoparasites. DNA detection of hemoparasites was performed by means of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The sequences obtained were analyzed and their homologies were compared to the available isolates in the GenBank platform database. A total of 33 birds were captured from 20 different species, of which 14 were parasitized by Amblyomma longirostre (n = 22). There was absence of DNA from agents of the genera Babesia, Anaplasma and Ehrlichia in the evaluated samples. The phylogenetic analysis indicated that one sample had 100% identity with Rickettsia bellii (KJ534309), the other two samples showed 100% identity with Rickettsia sp. Aranha strain and strain AL (EU274654 and AY360216). The positive sample for R. bellii was also demonstrated to be positive for Borrelia sp., which presented a similarity of 91% with Borrelia turcica (KF422815). This is the first description of Borrelia sp. in ticks of the genus Amblyomma in South America.

“…No presente estudo foi identificada uma ninfa de Amblyomma sculptum em seriema (Cariama cristata) no município de Mairiporã. Ninfas desta mesma espécie de carrapato também já foram anteriormente identificadas no Brasil em seriemas nos municípios de Jundiaí e Sorocaba, ambas no estado de São Paulo, além do município de Morrinhos localizado no estado de Goiás (LABRUNA et al, 2007;MARTINS et al, 2015;LUZ et al, 2016). Ainda no presente estudo, foram identificadas ninfas desta mesma espécie de carrapato em outra ave, um gavião de cauda curta (Buteo brachyurus), proveniente também do município de Mairiporã.…”

“…Apart from the records on their breeding behavior, behavioral records of seriemas in captivity are scarce. The few studies examining the behavior Studies on seriema parasites are the sole example of a research topic that has been widely explored both in wild (Price 1968, Hellenthal et al 2001, Brum et al 2003, Marietto-Gonçalves et al 2009, Sousa et al 2010, Lunaschi and Drago 2012, Lunaschi et al 2015, Luz et al 2016) and captive birds (Teixeira et al 2008, da Silva et al 2009, Marietto-Gonçalves et al 2012, Snak et al 2014, Martins et al 2017. Of particular interest are those studies on potentially zoonotic parasites (Marietto-Gonçalves et al 2008, Vitaliano et al 2014, as people and seriemas can live in close proximity (Boyle 1917, Alvarsson 2012, Alexandrino et al 2019, and in some locations people hunt seriemas for food (Altrichter 2006, Alvarsson 2012.…”

Red-legged Seriemas (Cariama cristata) and Black-legged Seriemas (Chunga burmeisteri) are two exclusively South American species that inhabit open and sparsely forested areas. Seriemas have been recently included with the raptors based on ecological and evolutionary evidence. Viewing seriemas as raptors is nontraditional and might be controversial. Therefore, further information regarding the evolution, taxonomy, morphology, and ecology of these birds will clarify the validity of their consideration as raptors. Here we present a review of the published information on seriemas, and discuss future research for these newly adopted raptors. To conduct our review, we developed a systematic map and searched all databases available within Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science, performed a keyword search of Google Scholar, and included the corresponding bibliographies from the Birds of the World website. We reviewed 98 studies, and found that the Red-legged Seriema was the subject of more studies than the Black-legged Seriema. Overall, Brazil and Argentina were the site of most studies. The majority of studies examined physiology (48), followed by behavior (37), threats to the survival of these species (36), and demography (27), while smaller numbers of studies examined stressors (e.g., habitat changes, causes of mortality and injury such as predation, hunting, etc.) (20), and conservation actions (10). Patterns of study categorizations were similar for both species, and the distribution of studies across months was also fairly even for both species. This is the first study to systematically review and assess the published information on seriemas. Our results show the topics and locations on which past studies have focused, and highlight potentially fruitful avenues for future research. Although threats to seriemas have been identified, these have not been thoroughly assessed; thus, their extent and effects on seriema populations were difficult to ascertain. Future research should focus on testing existing hypotheses regarding seriema feeding, vocalization, social, and territorial behaviors, while documenting natural history. Researchers should build on past investigations while establishing programs to monitor the conservation status of seriemas across their ranges.
