This paper describes the identification of ticks from wild animals of the Pantanal region in Brazil as part of a comprehensive study about established and emerging tick-host relationships and related pathological aspects. Eighty-one animals were captured (representing 13 species, six orders), and ticks were found on 63 (78%). Tick species identified included Boophilus microplus (Canestrini), Amblyomma cajennense (F.), Amblyomma parvum Aragão, Amblyomma pseudoconcolor Aragão, Amblyomma scalpturatum Neumann, Amblyomma nodosum Neumann, Amblyomma ovale Koch, and Amblyomma tigrinum Koch. Dragging from grasslands yielded negative results compared with the high concentration of ticks that were collected from leaves in the forests.
本文描述了对巴西潘塔纳尔地区野生动物身上蜱虫的鉴定，这是一项关于已确立和新出现的蜱虫-宿主关系及相关病理学方面的综合研究的一部分。捕获了81只动物（代表13个物种，6个目），在63只（78%）动物身上发现了蜱虫。鉴定出的蜱虫种类包括微小牛蜱（Canestrini）、卡延恩钝眼蜱（F.）、小钝眼蜱Aragão、伪同色钝眼蜱Aragão、刻点钝眼蜱Neumann、结节钝眼蜱Neumann、卵形钝眼蜱Koch和虎斑钝眼蜱Koch。与从森林树叶上收集到的高浓度蜱虫相比，在草原上拖拽采集得到的结果为阴性。
