Abstract
In the present study, we provide new tick records from Vilhena Municipality, in the Southeast of the State of Rondônia, Northern Brazil. Ticks collected from a capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus), were identified as Amblyomma romitii Tonelli-Rondelli (1 female), and Amblyomma sp. (1 larva). Ticks collected from a harpy eagle, Harpia harpyja (Linnaeus), were identified as Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius) (16 nymphs) and Haemaphysalis juxtakochi Cooley (1 nymph). Ticks collected from a yellow-footed tortoise, Chelonoidis denticulada (Linnaeus), were identified as Amblyomma rotundatum Koch (10 females, 2 nymphs), and Amblyomma sp. (2 larvae). The present record of A. romitii is the first in the State of Rondônia, and represents the southernmost record for this tick species, indicating that its distribution area is much larger than currently recognized. Although both A. cajennense and H. juxtakochi have been reported parasitizing various bird species, we provide the first tick records on a harpy eagle. A. rotundatum is widespread in the State of Rondônia, and has been previously reported on the yellow-footed tortoise. The present records increase the tick fauna of Rondônia to 26 species.
O presente estudo relata novos achados de carrapatos provenientes do Município de Vilhena, Sudeste do Estado de Rondônia, na região Norte do Brasil. Carrapatos colhidos de uma capivara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus), foram identificados como Amblyomma romitii Tonelli-Rondelli (1 fêmea) e Amblyomma sp. (1 larva). Carrapatos colhidos de uma águia harpia, Harpia harpyja (Linnaeus), foram identificados como Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius) (16 ninfas) e Haemaphysalis juxtakochi Cooley (1 ninfa). Carrapatos colhidos de um jabuti, Chelonoidis denticulada (Linnaeus), foram identificados como Amblyomma rotundatum Koch (10 fêmeas, 2 ninfas) e Amblyomma sp. (2 larvas). O presente achado de A. romitii é o primeiro no Estado de Rondônia, representando o achado mais meridional desta espécie de carrapato, indicando que sua distribuição geográfica é mais ampla do que se supunha. Embora A. cajennense e H. juxtakochi têm sido relatados parasitando várias espécies de aves, o presente relato em harpia é o primeiro registro de carrapatos nesta espécie de hospedeiro. A. rotundatum ocorre amplamente no Estado de Rondônia e tem sido previamente relatado parasitando jabutis. Estes registros ampliam a fauna de carrapatos de Rondônia para 26 espécies.
