“…Rodents were identified to species according to BoNVICINo et al (2008), ReIS et al (2006) and WILSoN & ReeDeR (2005). Attached ticks were removed using tweezers and stored in 70% alcohol until its taxonomic identification in the laboratory, following taxonomic keys for tick genera (BARRoS-BATTeSTI et al, 2006) and for nymph of the genus Amblyomma (MARTINS et al, 2010), and morphological description previously reported for the nymph of Ixodes schulzei (BARRoSBATTeSTI et al, 2007). In the case of Amblyomma spp.…”

“…After checking each bird's body and removing the ticks, the birds were released into the environment. The ticks collected during the nymph stage were identified by means of the dichotomous key of Martins et al (2010), and then were stored in flasks containing alcohol (70GL). Some of the larvae that were collected were placed on domestic rabbits, as an experimental infestation, in order to complete the tick lifecycle, as described by Pinter et al (2002).…”

The prevalence of parasitic infections, particularly those caused by ectoparasites, may influence the biology and ecology of wild birds. The aim of this study was to investigate occurrences and identify the species of ticks collected from wild birds caught on the campus of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro. The birds were caught using mist nets between October 2009 and December 2010. In total, 223 birds were caught, represented by 53 species and 19 families in nine orders. Nineteen birds (n = 7 species) were parasitized by immature ticks (prevalence of 8.5%). Forty-four ticks were collected, of which 23 were nymphs and 21 were larvae. There were associations between parasitism by ticks and non-Passeriformes birds, and between parasitism and ground-dwelling birds, which was possibly due to the presence (or inclusion among the captured birds) of Vanellus chilensis (Charadriiformes: Charadriidae). All the nymphs collected were identified as Amblyomma cajennense. In general terms, we must emphasize that wild birds in the study area may play the role of dispersers for the immature stages of A. cajennense, albeit non-preferentially.

“…As ninfas de carrapatos foram identificadas no Laboratório de Parasitologia Animal da UFERSA com o auxílio de chave dicotômica e pictórica segundo Martins et al (2010). Quando foi possível a classificação morfológica dos estágios larvais, utilizaram-se chaves taxonômicas de Jones & Clifford (1972), Kohls et al (1969) e .…”

RESUMO: Poucos estudos avaliaram a diversidade de ectoparasitos e a associação deles com seus hospedeiros que ocorrem no bioma Caatinga, Nordeste do Brasil. Considerando-se essa falta de conhecimento, este estudo objetivou identificar e determinar a ocorrência de carrapatos coletados de pequenos mamíferos da Estação Experimental Rafael Fernandes, no Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil. De janeiro de 2014 a fevereiro de 2015 foram capturados 52 marsupiais (38 Gracilinanus agilis e 14 Monodelphis domestica) e 10 roedores (5 Wiedomys sp., 4 Thrichomys sp. e 1 Rattus norvegicus). Foram identificados os carrapatos Amblyomma auricularium, Amblyomma parvum, Amblyomma sp., Ornithodoros mimon e Ornithodoros sp., empregando estudo morfológico, chaves taxonômicas e sequenciamento parcial do gene mitocondrial 16S rDNA de carrapatos. Todas as associações carrapato-hospedeiro encontradas neste estudo são relatadas pela primeira vez no Rio Grande do Norte e constituem novos dados ecológicos aplicáveis aos ectoparasitos de pequenos mamíferos no nordeste do Brasil.
