“…Interestingly, over the last few years, genetic and morphological differences have been detected in R. sanguineus populations in different regions (SZABÓ et al, 2005;MORAES-FILHO et al, 2011). This variability can probably be ascribed to the tick's ability to transmit pathogens.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of Hepatozoon species infecting dogs in the municipality of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Brazil, using blood samples (n = 165) drawn from dogs. The species Hepatozoon canis was identified in 3.63% of the tested animals using molecular tools. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical relevance of this infection and the main arthropod vectors involved in its transmission.Keywords: Dogs, epidemiology, Hepatozoon canis, midwestern Brazil, PCR. ResumoO objetivo deste estudo foi identificar a frequência e espécies de Hepatozoon infectando cães no município de Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. Uma amostragem de 165 animais foi utilizada e, por meio do uso de ferramentas moleculares, a espécie Hepatozoon canis foi identificada em 3,63% dos animais. Mais estudos são necessários para identificar a relevância clínica e os principais vetores envolvidos na transmissão desse protozoário na região.Palavras-chave: Cães, epidemiologia, Hepatozoon canis, centro-oeste do Brasil, PCR.

“…Increasing evidence shows that tick species with wide geographic distributions may in fact be clusters of more or less cryptic species (Szabo et al, 2005;Labruna et al, 2009;Mastropaolo et al, 2011;Beati et al, 2013;Nava et al, 2014).…”

“…Por este motivo é encontrado em muitas espécies de hospedeiros, mas para a manutenção de populações desta espécie no ambiente, hospedeiros primários como capivaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris Linnaeus 1766), antas (Tapirus terrestris Linnaeus 1758), e eqüinos são necessários (Labruna et al 2001). O Rhipicephalus sanguineus é um carrapato que foi introduzido no Brasil com a colonização e tem estreita relação com o cão doméstico (Szabó et al 2005). Esta espécie predomina em cães da zona urbana (Szabó et al 2001) e somente infesta canídeos selvagens no cativeiro ou quando estes se aproximam de cães domésticos.…”

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) on domestic dogs in Serra de Caldas Novas State Park, Goiás: epidemiological aspects

et al. 2010

Abstract:We herein report tick (Acari: Ixodidae) infestation of four domestic dogs wandering inside Serra de Caldas Novas State Park, Goiás. Twenty seven ticks were collected from these hosts along nine days in November 2008. Ticks were identified as adults of Amblyomma cajennense, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma tigrinum and Rhipicephalus sanguineus as well as Amblyomma spp. nymphs. One of the dogs displayed facial myoclonus, a symptom of canine distemper. Such disease is a serious viral and contagious disease of dogs and also of several wild animals. Overall tick species found on dogs clearly showed the transit of these hosts between the natural areas of the park and anthropic areas, urban or rural. Such situation illustrates the potential of dogs to transmit contagious and vector-borne diseases to wild canids. Our results reinforce the importance of control of dogs living free without responsible owner, to the Brazilian fauna conservation, particularly close to conservation units.
