For the first time, larvae and nymphs of Amblyomma tigrinum ticks were found on three species of wild birds (Zenaida auriculata, Callipepla californica and Nothoprocta perdicaria) in Chile. A significant higher number of A. tigrinum was found on fledglings of Z. auriculata and N. perdicaria than on adults of these species of birds. A significant higher number was also observed on N. perdicaria living in non-irrigated areas as compared with irrigated areas. Infestation levels were 6.5, 6.3 and 10.2 ticks for Z. auriculata, C. californica and N. perdicaria, respectively. Our results suggest that birds are important in the maintenance of the life cycle of A. tigrinum ticks in the area.
首次在智利的三种野生鸟类（斑颊哀鸽、加州鹑和智利翎鹑）身上发现了豹纹硬蜱的幼虫和若虫。在斑颊哀鸽和智利翎鹑的雏鸟身上发现的豹纹硬蜱数量显著高于这些鸟类的成鸟。与灌溉地区相比，在非灌溉地区生活的智利翎鹑身上也观察到显著更多的豹纹硬蜱。斑颊哀鸽、加州鹑和智利翎鹑的蜱虫感染水平分别为6.5、6.3和10.2只。我们的结果表明，鸟类在该地区豹纹硬蜱生命周期的维持中起着重要作用。
