Successful Feeding of Amblyomma coelebs (Acari: Ixodidae) Nymphs on Humans in Brazil: Skin Reactions to Parasitism
Identifying the tick species that successfully feed on humans would increase knowledge of the epidemiology of several tick-borne diseases. These species salivate into the host, increasing the risk of pathogen transmission. However, there is a lack of data in the literature regarding the ticks that prefer to feed on humans. Herein, we describe the successful feeding of Amblyomma coelebs Neumann ...
متن کاملReproductive parameters and Conversion Efficiency Index (CEI) of Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius, 1787) (Acari : Ixodidae) females under field and laboratory conditions
In Brazil, A. cajennense is the main vector of Rickettsia rickettsii, the etiological agent of «Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever». Besides the intense blood exploitation, the parasitism can affect the animal production capacity and usually determine leather depreciation, leading to secondary infections and myiasis. Although the adult stages have the equines as their preferable hosts, some authors [...
متن کاملFirst record of Amblyomma scalpturatum Neumann (Acari: Ixodidae) in the states of Paraná and Roraima, Brazil.
Amblyomma scalpturatum Neumann has been reported in Brazil in the northern (States of Amazonas, Pará and Rondônia) and mid-western regions (States of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul). It has been found in association with large and medium sized mammals, as Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla, Xenarthra and Carnivora. In this paper, this tick species is reported for the first time in the Brazilian s...
متن کاملReestablishment of Amblyomma tenellum Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae).
Herein, Amblyomma tenellumKoch, 1844 (Ixodidae) is reestablished as a valid tick name and removed from the synonymy list of Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius, 1787), while Amblyomma imitatorKohls, 1958, is relegated to a junior synonym of A. tenellum. Amblyomma tenellum is redescribed based on the examination of male type specimens collected by Deppe at the beginning of the 19th century in Mexico...
متن کاملLack of parthenogenesis by Amblyomma cajennense (Acari: Ixodidae).
Some reproductive parameters of adult stages of Amblyomma cajennense ticks were studied. The capacity of virgin females to reproduce by parthenogenesis was evaluated, during an experimental infestation, in absence of males, on a horse (Equus cabalus). Ticks were spread either completely free or in limited sites on the body of the animal. The engorged virgin females showed longer feeding periods...
