Resumo: | Amblyomma varium is a neotropical tick popularly known as the sloth’s giant tick, during the adult stage is found almost exclusively on mammals of the Bradypodidae and Megalonychidae families of the superorder Xenarthra. The maned sloth (Bradypus torquatus) is the only sloth species in danger of extinction in Brazil. This species is arboreal and descends to the ground only to perform defecation behavior. This behavior can be the determining factor for infestation and infection by different parasitic agents, including A. varium. This study reported the occurrence of A. varium found parasitizing free-living maned sloths (B. torquatus) in the Atlantic Forest biome of Northeast and Southeast Brazil. A total of 36 individuals were evaluated and more than 50% of the individuals were parasitized by ticks of the species A. varium. This study confirmed the importance of B. torquatus as a host for adults and nymphs of A. varium and reported the variation in length of the spurs on coxa IV of A. varium males. |

A preguiça-de-coleira (Bradypus torquatus) é a única espécie de preguiça ameaçada de extinção no Brasil. Esta espécie é arbórea e desce ao solo apenas para realizar comportamentos de defecação. Esse comportamento pode ser o fator determinante para infestação e infecção por diferentes agentes parasitários, incluindo A. varium. Este estudo relatou a ocorrência de A. varium encontrado parasitando preguiças-de-coleira (B. torquatus) de vida livre no bioma Mata Atlântica do Nordeste e Sudeste do Brasil. Foram avaliados 36 indivíduos e mais de 50% dos indivíduos estavam parasitados por carrapatos da espécie A. varium. Este estudo confirmou a importância de B. torquatus como hospedeiro para adultos e ninfas de A. varium e relatou a variação no comprimento dos espinhos da coxa IV de machos de A. varium.Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2022-02-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpeer reviewedAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/122710.29374/2527-2179.bjvm004021Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 44 (2022); e004021Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 44 (2022); e0040212527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1227/1160https://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1227/1161Copyright (c) 2022 Fernanda Coelho Simas Bernardes, Thiago Fernandes Martins, Suelen Sanches Ferreira, Beatris Felipe Rosa , Carlos Ramón Ruiz-Miranda, Gastón Andrés Fernandez Giné , Flávio Landim Soffiati , Flávia Regina Mirandahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBernardes, Fernanda Coelho SimasMartins, Thiago FernandesFerreira, Suelen SanchesRosa , Beatris FelipeRuiz-Miranda, Carlos Ramón Giné , Gastón Andrés FernandezSoffiati , Flávio LandimMiranda, Flávia Regina2022-06-16T13:56:49Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1227Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2022-06-16T13:56:49Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false |
