Abstract:This study investigated the diversity and abundance of questing ticks in three forest fragments in the state of Pará, Brazil. A model to predict species distribution for all territory of the state was developed. Ticks were collected using the flannel drag technique, flannel leggings and a CO2 attractive trap. Species richness and relative abundance were calculated and a non-metric multidimensional scaling was used to assess the similarity across ticks species collected in areas. The potential distribution of t… Show more
