“…Not surprisingly, Brazil has the world's second most diverse avifauna, with 1,840 species (Silveira 2013). Despite such avian diversity, only 3 tick species are known in Brazil to use birds as primary hosts for all parasitic stages: Argas miniatus Koch, 1844, a parasite of domestic fowl, and Ixodes auritulus Neumann, 1904 and Ixodes paranaensis BarrosBattesti, Arzua, Pichorim & Keirans, 2003, parasites of wild birds (Arzua et al 1994, Arzua & Barros-Battesti 1999, Dantas-Torres et al 2009). Curiously, accidental infestations by Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille, 1806) have been reported on native and nonnative birds in Brazil (Diogo et al 2003, Szabó et al 2008.…”

Ticks of the genus Amblyomma (Acari: Ixodidae) on wild birds in the Brazilian Amazon

The Amazon biome harbors the richest avifauna in the world. However, in the Brazilian Amazon only a single previous study has systematically evaluated wild birds for ticks. During 2012, wild birds were captured in two areas of the Brazilian Amazon forest, one located in the State of Amazonas, and another in the State of Pará. Overall, 581 wild birds representing 118 species were captured, but only 18 individuals (3.1% prevalence) were infested by ticks, comprising immature stages of Amblyomma calcaratum Neumann, 1899, Amblyomma geayi Neumann, 1899, Amblyomma humerale Koch, 1844, and Amblyomma longirostre (Koch, 1844). The only previous study of birds in the Brazilian Amazon reported 40.2% tick prevalence. Such contrasting prevalence values may stem from seasonal differences or differences in forest disturbance at the two sites.

“…Thus, there have been recent records of tick species on birds from the Araucaria forest (ARZUA et al, 2003;BARROS-BATTESTI, 1999); Atlantic forest (LABRUNA et al, 2007;OGRZEWALSKA et al, 2008OGRZEWALSKA et al, , 2009a, Amazon (OGRZEWALSKA et al, 2010), Cerrado (ROJAS et al, 1999;TOLESANO-PASCOLI et al, 2010) and northeastern Brazil (OGRZEWALSKA et al, 2011). These studies have shown a role for birds to feed immature ticks, and that these ticks may harbor microorganisms that are potentially pathogenic to humans, such as Rickettsia (OGRZEWALSKA et al, 2009b).…”

We report tick infestations on birds, in the environment and on domestic animals in a non-forested phytophysiognomy, the savanna-like Cerrado sensu stricto, in a natural reserve on the outskirts of the urban area of Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Overall, 238 birds within 50 species, 15 families and six orders were caught. Passeriformes were the most numerous, with 216 birds (90.75%), among which 22 had ticks (n = 31). Within this order, the prevalence of tick infestation was 10.2%, and the abundance and mean intensity were 0.14 and 1.41, respectively. Only immature ticks of the species Amblyomma nodosum were found on the birds. The tick species found both on animals (Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, Amblyomma cajennense and Dermacentor nitens) and in the environment (Amblyomma dubitatum, Rhipicephalus (B.) microplus and Amblyomma cajennense) were as expected. This difference in tick species between the environment and birds possibly occurred because the sampling of the environment was limited to the ground. This study also highlights the importance of the diverse microenvironments used by ticks and hosts in the same area and the complex ecology of bird-tick relationships. Ecological and epidemiological aspects of the findings are discussed.Keywords: Bird, cerrado, tick, passeriformes, ecology. ResumoNesse trabalho relatam-se infestações de carrapatos em aves, meio ambiente e em animais domésticos em uma fitofisionomia não florestal, o Cerrado stricto sensu, de uma reserva natural na periferia da área urbana de Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Para tal, 238 aves de 50 espécies foram capturadas, pertencentes a 15 famílias e seis ordens. Passeriforme foi a mais numerosa, com 216 indivíduos (90,75%), dos quais 22 estavam parasitados com 31 carrapatos. Nos Passeriformes a prevalência de infestação de carrapatos foi de 10,2%, a abundância e intensidade média foi de 0,14 e 1,41, respectivamente. Apenas carrapatos imaturos da espécie Amblyomma nodosum foram encontrados em aves. As espécies de carrapatos encontradas tanto em animais (Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, Amblyomma cajennense, Dermacentor nitens) como no ambiente (Amblyomma dubitatum, Rhipicephalus (B.) microplus, Amblyomma cajennense) foram aquelas já esperadas. Esta diferença de espécies de carrapatos entre ambiente e de aves possivelmente ocorreu porque a amostragem do ambiente se restringiu ao solo. Esse estudo também destaca a importância dos diversos microambientes usados por carrapatos e hospedeiros em uma mesma área e a complexa ecologia das relações ave-carrapato. Aspectos ecológicos e epidemiológicos dos achados são discutidos.
