“…However, staying indoors is not a warranty of absence of risk for tick infestations BORSOI, 2009;. Also, performing tourism activities in a rural area, with no knowledge of what one might be exposed to, increases the risk for cases of tick infection, as has been found by Serra-Freire and Leal (2009), namely among women (Table 2).…”

Assuming the existence of tick parasitism in humans in the State of Pará, an aggregate observational study was developed along a transversal line in three cities of the State, during two years. Interviews and examinations of 2,160 townspeople and tourists were carried out, without discrimination of ethnic, sex, age, or social status, and classified for effects analyzed for four bands of age, six types of activities in the society, and two sexes. Larvae, nymphs, and adults of ticks had been identified with cases of parasitism involving six species, of the genus Amblyomma, the genus Ixodes, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Anocentor nitens, and Ornithodorus talaje (the first case registered in Pará), infecting human beings. Adults and agricultural workers were most frequently attacked, followed by students. A. cajennense and R. sanguineus are the species most frequent in the parasitism affecting humans, and A. cajennense is the dominant species. The statistical prevalence was largest in Cachoeira do Arari, Ilha do Marajó. In Santarém the greatest average intensity of parasitism was for R. sanguineus, and in the other locations it wasfor A. cajennense. Agricultural workers faced the greatest risk from parasitism, and to place in practice elementary measures of prevention would reduce by 25% the number of cases.Keywords: Ixodidae on human beings, Cachoeira do Arari, Marajó Island, Santarém, Paragominas city. ResumoCom a hipótese de parasitismo por carrapatos em humanos no Estado do Pará, foi desenvolvido estudo observacional, agregado, transversal em três mesoregiões do Estado, durante dois anos. Foram entrevistados e examinados 2.160 munícipes, e turistas, sem discriminação étnica, de sexo, idade, e social, classificados para efeito de análises em quatro faixas de idade, seis tipos de atividades na sociedade, e dois sexos. Houve casos de parasitismo por larvas, ninfas, e adultos de carrapatos, envolvendo seis espécies do gênero Amblyomma, o gênero Ixodes, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Anocentor nitens e Ornithodorus talaje (primeiro registo para o Estado). Adultos e os trabalhadores rurais são os mais atacados, seguidos dos estudantes. A. cajennense e R. sanguineus são as espécies mais freqüentes no parasitismo de humano, e A. cajennense é a espécie dominante. A prevalência foi superior a 40% nos três municípios, e estatisticamente maior em Cachoeira do Arari, Ilha de Marajó. Em Santarém R. sanguineus teve a maior intensidade média de parasitismo, nos outros municípios foi por A. cajennense. Estar em atividade rural dobra o risco do parasitismo, e o esclarecimento da população, para colocar em prática medidas elementares de prevenção reduziria em 25% o número de casos.Palavras-chave: Ixodidae em seres humanos, Cachoeira do Arari, Ilha de Marajó, Santarém, município de Paragominas.

“…When compared to other anomalies, the double monsters are known as rarely observed anomalies in ticks. To date, only 81 double monster specimens belonging to 20 species, 8 genera, and 2 families have been reported (Campana-Rouget 1959a;Latif et al 1988;Estrada-Peña 2001;Serra-Freire and Borsoi 2009;Slovák and Vidlička 2013;Ren et al 2016).…”

During our survey on ticks parasitizing animals, two teratological tick specimens belonging to Ixodes frontalis (Panzer) and Rhipicephalus annulatus (Say) were collected from a bird and cattle, respectively. These samples exhibited unique morphological anomalies, including partial twinning of the posterior region of the idiosoma with two anal openings. To our knowledge, such teratological changes in I. frontalis and R. annulatus ticks have been reported for the first time.

“…Cases of anomalies arising from natural processes are extremely low in natural environments (ESTRADA-PEÑA, 2001). Among the main interferences that may influence anomalous development are exposure to chemical compounds, temperature and humidity of the air, hosts sensitized with chemicals and problems in the regeneration of tissues after an injury (BUCZEK, 2000;SERRA-FREIRE;BORSOI, 2009;NOWAK-CHMURA, 2012).…”
