Resumo: Many tick-borne disease can infect dogs and human beings. The distribution of the infectious agents transmitted by ticks parallels the geographic distribution of the vectors. Accordingly, we attempted to characterize ticks in dogs from a hospital population in North Paraná State, South Brazil, and to verify the frequency of each tick species in this population. We selected seventy one dogs presented to the Veterinary Hospital of the Universidade Estadual de Londrina with severe tick infestation. Animals with more than 25 ticks were included regardless of the chief complaint or presenting clinical signs. Ten ticks were collected from various parts of the body in each dog. All ticks were toxonomically classified. Four percent of the ticks removed were identified as Amblyomma cajennense, whereas 96% were Rhipicephalus sanguineus. The distribution of ticks was similar to the one observed in urban areas in South and South-east Brazil and compatible from a predominantly urban dog population.

Como a distribuição geográfica dos agentes infecciosos transmitidos por carrapatos acompanha a distribuição dos vetores, o presente estudo objetivou caracterizar morfologicamente as espécies de carrapatos que parasitam cães de uma população hospitalar na região norte do Paraná e estimar a taxa de ocorrência de cada espécie de carrapato nesta população. Para tanto foram selecionados 71 cães atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Estadual de Londrina que apresentaram alta infestação por carrapatos. Foram incluídos animais doentes, com qualquer sintomatologia e que, no momento da consulta apresentavam mais de 25 carrapatos. De cada cão foram retirados 10 carrapatos de diversas partes do corpo. Os carrapatos encontrados foram analisados morfologicamente e classificados de acordo com a espécie. Foi determinado o número de cães parasitados por cada espécie. Dos carrapatos coletados, 4% foram identificados como Amblyomma cajenense e 96% como Rhipicephalus sanguineus. A distribuição de carrapatos encontrada foi similar a observada em cães de origem urbanas no Rio Grande do Sul e em estados da Região sudeste e compatível com carrapatos encontrados em cães originários predominantemente de áreas urbanas.UEL2002-03-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/semagrarias/article/view/207410.5433/1679-0359.2002v23n1p71Semina: Ciências Agrárias; Vol. 23 No. 1 (2002); 71-74Semina: Ciências Agrárias; v. 23 n. 1 (2002); 71-741679-03591676-546Xreponame:Semina.
