Amblyomma parvitarsum (Acari: Ixodidae): localities, hosts and host-parasite ecology
(2014-01)Only a few aspects of the biology of Amblyomma parvitarsum Neumann are known. Adults of this hard tick species are parasites of South American camelids in the Andean plateau of Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and Chile and also ... -
A community approach to the Neotropical ticks-hosts interactions
(Springer Nature, 2020-06-09)The relationships between ticks and hosts are relevant to capture the ecological background driving the evolution of these parasites. We used a set of 4,764 records of ticks of the genera Amblyomma, Ixodes, and Haemaphysalis ... -
Ecology of the interaction between Ixodes loricatus (Acari: Ixodidae) and Akodon azarae (Rodentia: Criceridae)
(2015-10)The present study explores associations of different factors (i.e. host parameters, presence of other ectoparasites and [mainly biotic] environmental factors) with burdens of Ixodes loricatus immature stages in one of its ... -
Factors affecting patterns of Amblyomma triste (Acari: Ixodidae) parasitism in a rodent host
(2015-07-30)Here we offer a multivariable analysis that explores associations of different factors (i.e., environmental, host parameters, presence of other ectoparasites) with the interaction of Amblyomma triste immature stages and ... -
Las garrapatas de Uruguay : especies, hospedadores, distribución e importancia sanitaria
(Sociedad de Medicina Veterinaria del Uruguay, 2003-06)Se presenta una actualización de las especies de garrapatas de Uruguay. La lista comprende 31 especies que se clasificaron en las siguientes categorías: residentes (15 especies); probablemente residentes (3 especies); ... -
Host-parasite association between Didelphis albiventris (Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae) and Ixodes loricatus (Acari: Ixodidae) in their southern ranges
(2018-05)The parasitism of Ixodes loricatus Neumann on white-eared opposum, Didelphis albiventris Lund, was analysed in the southern ranges of both. In central Argentina, 118 wild opossums were captured from 2005 to 2012. Adults ... -
Molecular evidence of Babesia species in Procyon cancrivorus (Carnivora, Procyonidae) in Uruguay
(2018-08)The crab-eating raccoon (Procyon cancrivorus) is a carnivore widely distributed from southern Central America to all South American countries except Chile. In the Southern cone of America, P. cancrivorus has been found ... -
New records and host associations of the tick Ixodes apronophorus and the first detection of Ehrlichia sp. HF in Romania
(2018-04)Ixodes (Ixodes) apronophorus is a neglected tick species and its geographical distribution, host associations, and role as a disease vector are not well known. We collected I. apronophorus from several locations in Romania. ... -
Novel Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) strain and Hepatozoon sp. cf. H. procyonis (Apicomplexa, Hepatozoidae) detected in Procyon cancrivorus (Carnivora, Procyonidae) from Argentina, with note of tick-host association
(Springer, 2023-04)The aim of this work is to report the first detection of Procyon cancrivorus naturally co-infected with Hepatozoon sp. cf. H. procyonis and a novel Anaplasma strain from South America and potential vector tick species ... -
Tick host specificity: an analysis based on host phylogeny and tick ecological features using Amblyomma triste and Amblyomma tigrinum immature stages
(2018-05)Here we have evaluated tick host specificity with two different methodological approaches considering Amblyomma tigrinum and Amblyomma triste immatures as targets. Firstly, the Std* index was applied, which considers host ...
