| Abstract | Amblyomma Koch, 1844 is distributed worldwide, with ca. 130 species currently recognized. These ticks are
vectors of pathogens to animals and humans, including the causative agent of the New World Rocky Mountain spotted
fever. Species of the Amblyomma parasitize a wide range of organisms, especially medium and large terrestrial mammals.
Here we report for the first time the association of Myotis lavali Moratelli, Peracchi, Dias & Oliveira, 2011, Noctilio albiventris
Desmarest, 1818 and Noctilio leporinus (Linnaeus, 1758) as hosts for Amblyomma sculptum Berlese, 1888. The ticks were
originally identified as Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius, 1787), in 2011. However, a later taxonomic review indicated that
the species of the A. cajennense complex occurring in the Caatinga is A. sculptum. We also discuss the ecoepidemiological
implications of this association. | pt_BR |
