Dichotomous key to larvae of the genus Amblyomma (Parasitiformes: Ixodidae) in Brazil, with morphological description and redescription of the larval stage of 30 Amblyomma species

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks of the genus Amblyomma are of great medical and veterinary importance in Brazil, where they regularly parasitize wild and domestic animals and will bite humans that enter rural and forest areas for work and recreation purposes.

Life history traits, habitat characteristics, and phylogeny influence tick infestation probability in tropical wild birds

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 3, May 2025.
Interactions between wild birds and ticks exert significant selective forces, influencing the host's evolution and fitness. Tick infestation rates vary among bird species due to life history and morphology. Understanding tick infestation probability is crucial for conservation efforts, as birds play an important role in the tick life cycle and can ...

Diversity and Seasonal Dynamics of Ticks on Ring-Tailed Coatis Nasua nasua (Carnivora: Procyonidae) in Two Urban Areas from Midwestern Brazil

Animals, 2022
Understanding the diversity and ecology of ectoparasites in wild animals is essential for surveillance of vector-borne diseases. Coatis (Nasua nasua) easily adapt to anthropized areas, favoring close contact with domestic animals and humans, with the ...

Rickettsia parkeri strain Atlantic rainforest infecting Amblyomma ovale (Acari: Ixodidae) in the Amazon Biome (Acre state, Brazil)

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2022
There is a lack of studies regarding tick-associated Rickettsia in the Amazon biome. Aiming to contribute to this knowledge, our research group collected ticks in the Western Amazon to better understand the tick fauna and their associated Rickettsia.

Diversity of Ticks in the Caribbean Region and Detection of Their Pathogens Using BioMark Technology

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Introduction Ticks and the pathogens they transmit are widespread in Caribbean animal populations. There is; however, limited information on the diversity of ticks and tick‐borne pathogens (TTBPs) in the region. This study aims to identify TTBPs across multiple Caribbean countries using a high‐throughput real‐time microfluidic PCR system.

Insights from entire mitochondrial genome sequences into the phylogeny of ticks of the genera Haemaphysalis and Archaeocroton with the elevation of the subgenus Alloceraea Schulze, 1919 back to the status of a genus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 189-204, June 2024.
We sequenced the entire mt genomes of three species of tick for the first time: Bothriocroton auruginans, B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) novaeguineae, and we sequenced the 18S rRNA gene of B. hydrosauri and H. (Kaiseriana) bancrofti. In our phylogenetic trees, Alloceraea was the sister to Archaeocroton sphenodonti, from New Zealand; to the exclusion

Characterisation of putative novel tick viruses and zoonotic risk prediction

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2024.
Tick‐borne viruses remain a substantial zoonotic risk worldwide, so knowledge of the diversity of tick viruses has potential health consequences. Through data mining and bioinformatic analyses of more than 37,800 public meta‐genomic and ‐transcriptomic data sets, we found five putative novel Alphatetra‐like viruses, four putative novel Orthomyxo‐like ...
