Immature argasid ticks: diagnosis and keys for Neotropical region

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária/Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Parasitology (2013)

Darci Moraes Barros‐Battesti Diego Garcia Ramirez Gabriel Alves Landulfo João Luiz Horácio Faccini Filipe Dantas‐Torres

Many argasid tick species are known only through their larval descriptions, in which the chaetotaxy, together with other external morphological characteristics, has been used to separate genera and species. However, the illustrations of these features are based on optical microscopy alone and many of these features are not clearly defined. Because of the difficulties in determining the larval and nymph stages of some genera, we have prepared illustrated keys for the immature stages of argasids, including an up-to-date list of the known species of the Neotropical region. We have also included an illustrated key for larvae of the Ornithodoros species from Brazil, based on scanning electron microscopy.

Catalogue of the tick collection (Acari, Ixodida) of the Museu de História Natural Capão da Imbuia, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Zoologia (2005)

Márcia Arzúa Valéria Castilho Onofrio Darci Moraes Barros‐Battesti

The tick collection of the Museu de Historia Natural Capão da Imbuia was first sorted in the end of the 80's, and a list of specimens was published in 1992. During the last ten years, the collection has grown substantially and became the depository collection for type-specimens. The collection is the most regional representative depository of ticks from the State of Paraná, and it is one of the four largest Brazilian collections in number of specimens. All material was revised, and the data were computerized and catalogued in cards. To date, the collection includes 504 vials, with 2,073 specimens, belonging to 25 species and six genera of the families Argasidae and Ixodidae. The ticks were collected in regional and state parks and in green areas from 60 municipalities distributed within eight Brazilian states. This catalogue corrects some of the records published in 1992 for the state of Paraná and records new host species for Amblyomma aureolatum (Pallas, 1772), A. cajennense (Fabricius, 1787), A. longirostre (Koch, 1844), A. tigrinum Koch, 1844, Ixodes aragaoi Fonseca, 1935, I. auritulus Neumann, 1904, I. fuscipes Koch, 1844 and I. paranaensis Barros-Battesti, Arzua, Pichorim & Keirans, 2003. Amblyomma brasiliense Aragão, 1908, A. coelebs Neumann, 1899, A. nodosum Neumann, 1899 and I. fuscipes are recorded, for the first time, from the state of Paraná; A. longirostre from Rio Grande do Sul; I. fuscipes from Santa Catarina; I. schulzei Aragão & Fonseca, 1951 from Rondônia; and A. rotundatum Koch, 1844 from Bahia. In addition Haemaphysalis juxtakochi Cooley, 1946 and I. fuscipes are recorded for the first time, infesting birds.

Escabiose felina no gato errante – Relato de caso

Brazilian Journal of Development (2019)

Tiago Conceição Santos Bruna Regina Figura Silva Daniela Gabriel Reggiani Millena Leme Campos Jairo Alfonso Mendoza Roldan

A sarna notoedrica e uma dermatose crostosa, descamativa e pruriginosa que acomete gatos causada pelo acaro Notoedres cati. Por se tratar de uma zoonose o tratamento correto deve ser realizado com urgencia. A terapia convencional e baseada no uso de medicamentos da classe das avermectinas. O presente relato descreve um caso de sarna notoedrica diagnosticada por raspado cutâneo em um gato errante na cidade de Sao Paulo. O animal apresentava lesoes de pele na cabeca e regioes cervical dorsal e ventral. O tratamento foi realizado com 3 aplicacoes topicas de selamectina (Revolution®) com intervalo de 30 dias entre as aplicacoes. Foi observada a cura completa, confirmada atraves de raspados cutâneos negativos. Esse resultado sugere a eficacia da Selamectina contra os acaros Notoedres cati, apesar do tempo de duracao do tratamento.

Noteworthy records of Ixodes schulzei(Acari: Ixodidae) on rodents from the State of Parana, southern Brazil

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária/Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Parasitology (2013)

Valéria Castilho Onofrio Fernanda A. Nieri-Bastos Janio dos Santos Sampaio João Fábio Soares Maria José de Jesus Silva

Ixodes schulzei Aragão & Fonseca is an endemic tick to Brazil and has already been reported in the northern (State of Rondonia), southeastern (States of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo) and southern (State of Santa Catarina) regions, always found in association with the water rat Nectomys squamipes(Brandt). This communication records the first occurrence of this tick species in the State of Parana, southern region of Brazil, and it constitutes its first report on Akodon montensis (Thomas) andOryzomys russatus (Wagner) hosts.

Current status of ticks and tick-host relationship in domestic and wild animals from Pantanal wetlands in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Iheringia Série Zoologia (2017)

Paulo Henrique Duarte Cançado João Luiz Horácio Faccini Guilherme Mourão Eliane Mattos Piranda Valéria Castilho Onofrio

ABSTRACT This is a commented list of tick’s species collected on various wild and domestic animals, including the reports on scientific literature for the studied region. Most of animals were small or medium mammals. Carnivores were the main taxa group examined. Although, the pampas deer ( Ozotocerus bezoarticus) and giant anteater ( Mymercophaga tridactyla) also has a good representation on study. Among domestic animals, dogs, horses and cattle were examined. Summing up, 18 tick species were listed for the region. Sixteen were hard ticks (Ixodidae) and two soft ticks (Argasidae). Amblyomma sculptum was the most common and abundant hard tick. Ornithodoros rostratus (Argasidae) was very abundant, being the more important Argasidae tick on the study region. The following species were colleted or reported on scientific literature: Argas miniatus Koch, 1844; Ornithodoros rostratus Aragão, 1911; Dermacentor nitens Newmann, 1897; Rhipicephalus ( Boophilus) microplus Canestrini, 1887; Amblyomma tigrinum Koch, 1844; A. dissimile Koch, 1844; A. ovale Koch, 1844; A. pauvum Aragão, 1908; A. sculptum Berlese, 1888; A. calcaratum Neumann, 1899; A. coelebs Neumann, 1899; A. dubittatum Newmann, 1899; A. scalpturatum Newmann, 1906; A. naponense Packard, 1869; A. nodosum Newmann, 1899; A. pseudoconcolor Aragão, 1908; A. rotundatum Koch, 1844; A. triste Koch, 1844.
