Resumo: Amblyomma rotundatum is a tick species commonly found on reptiles and amphibians. In Brazil, investigations of this ectoparasite have indicated its distribution across all Brazilian biomes, although it is concentrated in certain locations. In this context, the objective of the present study was to describe a case of parasitism by A. rotundatum in a red-footed tortoise (Chelonoidis carbonarius) in the state of Rio de Janeiro. A female red-footed tortoise (C. carbonarius), seized by the environmental police, was parasitized by a tick in the left periocular region. The tick was manually removed, preserved in 70° GL ethanol, and sent for identification at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). Based on the morphological evaluation Dantas-Torres et al. (2019), Barros-Battesti et al. (2006) and Lampo et al. (1997), a diagnosis of a female specimen of A. rotundatum was made. In conclusion, this study reports the first case of A. rotundatum parasitizing C. carbonarius in the state of Rio de Janeiro, highlighting the presence of periocular blepharitis associated with this parasitism.

Nesse contexto, o objetivo do presente estudo foi descrever um caso de parasitismo por A. rotundatum em jabuti-piranga (Chelonoidis carbonarius) no estado do Rio de Janeiro. Uma fêmea de jabuti-piranga (C. carbonarius), apreendida pela Polícia Ambiental, estava parasitada por carrapato na região periocular esquerda. O carrapato foi removido manualmente, preservado em etanol 70° GL e encaminhado para identificação na Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ). Com base na avaliação morfológica Dantas-Torres et al. (2019), Barros-Battesti et al. (2006) e Lampo et al. (1997), foi feito o diagnóstico de um espécime fêmea de A. rotundatum. Em conclusão, este estudo relata o primeiro caso de A. rotundatum parasitando C. carbonarius no estado do Rio de Janeiro, destacando a presença de blefarite periocular associada a este parasitismo.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2023-07-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/129010.29374/2527-2179.bjvm001123Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 45 (2023); e001123Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 45 (2023); e0011232527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1290/1325https://bjvm.org.br/BJVM/article/view/1290/1332Copyright (c) 2023 Bruna Emely Pereira Barbosa, Ygor Henrique da Silva, Gabriel Alcides Capucho Lima, Catarina Souza Leão Espinoso Monte, Thais Ribeiro Correia, Daniel de Almeida Balthazarhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBarbosa, Bruna Emely Pereirada Silva, Ygor HenriqueLima, Gabriel Alcides CapuchoMonte, Catarina Souza Leão EspinosoCorreia, Thais RibeiroBalthazar, Daniel de Almeida2023-07-27T13:25:27Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1290Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2023-07-27T13:25:27Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false
