ABSTRACT

Ixodid or hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) occurs worldwide and are considered the most important vectors of pathogens to wild and domestic animals. Herein, we provide information on tick species infesting wildlife vertebrates, domestic animals (dog, donkey, goat, and horse), and humans as well as collected in the environment from 34 localities in the state of Pará, eastern Brazilian Amazonia. This is the first report to include a large geographical range of the tick fauna associated with their hosts in the eastern Amazonia. Overall, 3,396 tick specimens (600 larvae, 830 nymphs, 602 males, 1,364 females) were collected, comprising five genera and 23 species [Amblyomma cajennense sensu stricto (s.s.), Amblyomma calcaratum, Amblyomma coelebs, Amblyomma dissimile, Amblyomma geayi, Amblyomma goeldii, Amblyomma humerale, Amblyomma latepunctatum, Amblyomma longirostre, Amblyomma naponense, Amblyomma nodosum, Amblyomma oblongoguttatum, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma pacae, Amblyomma rotundatum, Amblyomma scalpturatum, Amblyomma varium, Dermacentor nitens, Haemaphysalis juxtakochi, Ixodes amarali, Ixodes luciae, Rhipicephalus microplus, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (s.l.)]. Additionally, we also provide new tick-host associations for A. cajennense s.s., A. calcaratum, A. coelebs, A. dissimile, A. humerale, A. latepunctatum, A. longirostre, A. naponense, A. nodosum, A. oblongoguttatum, A. rotundatum, A. scalpturatum, H. juxtakochi, I. luciae, and R. microplus.

摘要

x或硬tick（Acari：I科）在世界范围内广泛存在，被认为是野生和家养动物最重要的病原体载体。在此，我们提供了有关野生动物脊椎动物，家畜（狗，驴，山羊和马）和人类的tick物种的信息，以及从巴西东部亚马逊州帕拉州34个地区的环境中采集的tick物种信息。这是第一份报告，涵盖了东亚马逊地区与tick寄主相关的大范围the动物区系。总体而言，3396个蜱样本（600幼虫，若虫830，602名男性，女性1364）收集，其包括五个属和23种[花蜱cajennense狭义（SS），花蜱calcaratum，花蜱coelebs，花蜱dissimile，花蜱geayi，花蜱goeldii，花蜱humerale，花蜱latepunctatum，花蜱longirostre，花蜱naponense，花蜱结节性红斑，花蜱oblongoguttatum，花蜱卵形，花蜱pacae，花蜱rotundatum，花蜱scalpturatum，花蜱varium，革鲷，嗜血杆菌，阿玛氏虫，褐藻，微头R虫和红头R虫（sl）]。此外，我们还为A. cajennense ss，A. calcaratum，A. coelebs，A. dissimile，A. humerale，A. latepunctatum，A. longirostre，A. naponense，A. nodosum，A.提供了新的壁虱宿主关联。 oblongoguttatum，A. rotundatum，A. scalpturatum，H. juxtakochi，I. luciae和R. microplus。
