ABSTRACT The Rhipicephalus sanguineus s. l. has great medical and veterinary importance posing severe risks to the well-being of pets and public health. The ozone is a promising alternative for control of this ectoparasites, by not causing environmental contamination or threatening public health. Due to the fact that the integument is the organ that first comes into contact with topically applied acaricides, the objective of this study was to investigate morphological alterations in ticks exposed in vivo to ozonated water for 5 min and analyzed after the periods of 24, 48, and 72 h. The results showed that the exposure to ozonated water at the concentration of 2.25 mg/L for 5 min and analyzed after 48 h had the greatest effect, causing irreversible damage to the integument of the R. sanguineus s. l. females, interfering in the processes of attachment, engorgement, and reproduction.

将 Ticks Rhipicephalus sensu lato (Acari:Ixodidae) 暴露于臭氧水：外皮反应

摘要 Rhipicephalus sanguineus sl 具有重要的医学和兽医重要性，对宠物的福祉和公共健康构成严重风险。由于不会造成环境污染或威胁公众健康，臭氧是控制这种外寄生虫的一种很有前途的替代方法。由于体被是首次接触局部施用的杀螨剂的器官，本研究的目的是调查蜱在体内暴露于臭氧水 5 分钟后的形态变化，并在 24、48 年之后进行分析。和 72 小时。结果表明，暴露于浓度为 2.25 mg/L 的臭氧水中 5 min 并在 48 h 后分析影响最大，对 R. sanguineus sl 雌性的外皮造成不可逆的损伤，
