Resumo: The tick species and tick-borne pathogens present in a group of questing ticks collected from forest fragments in a rural area in the municipality of Divino, Minas Gerais state, Brazil were evaluated. The collected ticks were divided into two groups those collected from around the edges of the fragments and those collected from the interior of the forest. In all the fragments, the ticks were collected using a dragging and flagging technique and by harvesting them from white fabric gaiters. The larvae, nymphs, and adults were all morphologically identified using specific taxonomic keys. The larvae were identified to the genus level. DNA was extracted from the ticks and tested for the presence of Rickettsia spp., Borrelia spp., Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp., and Theileria spp. using a conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In total, 1,122 questing ticks (750 larvae, 367 nymphs, and five adults) and 18 larval clusters were evaluated. The main species found in the collected tick population were Amblyomma sculptum, A. auricularium, A. aureolatum, and A. pseudoconcolor, along with the larvae of Amblyomma spp. and Dermacentor spp. None of the tick samples gave a positive result when tested by PCR for the presence of DNA from Rickettsia spp., Borrelia spp., Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp., or Theileria spp.

Os carrapatos de vida livre coletados em fragmentos florestais da área rural do Município de Divino, Minas Gerais, Brasil. Os carrapatos coletados foram divididos em dois grupos, aqueles que foram coletados na área da margem do fragmento (Borda) e os coletados no interior da floresta (Mata). Em todos os fragmentos, os carrapatos foram coletados de acordo com a técnica de arraste aéreo ou no chão e com o uso de perneiras e de flanela. Tanto, as larvas, quanto as ninfas e os adultos foram morfologicamente identificados usando chaves taxonômicas específicas. No caso das larvas, estas foram identificadas até o nível de gênero. Foi realizada extração de DNA dos carrapatos e o DNA extraído foi testado para a presença de Rickettsia spp., Borrelia spp., Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp., e Theileria spp. por meio de uma estratégia de reação em cadeia da polimerase convencional. No total, 1.122 carrapatos em fase de vida livre (750 larvas, 367 ninfas e 5 adultos) e 18 clusters de larvas foram usados no estudo. As principais espécies identificadas na população de carrapatos coletada foram: Amblyomma sculptum, Amblyomma auricularium, Amblyomma aureolatum e Amblyomma pseudoconcolor e larvas de Amblyomma spp. e Dermacentor spp. Como resultado da detecção de patógenos não foi possível achar DNA de nenhum dos agentes analisados, assim todas as amostras de DNA dos carrapatos testados foram negativas tanto para Rickettsia spp. quanto para Borrelia spp., Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp. e Theileria spp.UEL2022-03-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/4449210.5433/1679-0359.2022v43n3p1343Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 43 No. 3 (2022); 1343-1354Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 43 n. 3 (2022); 1343-13541679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
