Resumo

We report ectoparasites found on humans and wildlife from different locations in southeastern Brazil. Ectoparasites were stored in 70% alcohol and visually identified under a stereo microscope with the help of identification keys. Genomic DNA of ticks was extracted and used in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to detect the presence of tick-borne pathogens. Sixteen species of ectoparasites (six ticks, one louse, four fleas, four flies, and one bedbug) were identified on ten host species, including humans, other mammals, and birds. We report the first record of the parasitism of Amblyomma longirostre on Didelphis aurita, Microlynchia pussila on Turdus leucomelas, Ornithoica vicina and Ornithocoris pallidus on Psittacara leucophthalmus and O. pallidus on Homo sapiens. In addition, we also report the first record of O. vicina in the state of Minas Gerais and the infection by Rickettsia sp. in Amblyomma varium.

Msc. Barbara Cristina Felix Nogueira, graduated in Animal Science at Federal University of Viçosa (UFV), Master’s in Animal Biology at UFV, and currently, PhD student in Veterinary Medicine at UFV. During her graduation, she participated in the University Extension Project (PIBEX). She was a Scientific Initiation Scholarship Holder at PIBIC/CNPq, in the area of Genetics and Animal Breeding. She is currently part of the group of researchers at the Laboratory of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases (UFV) and develops research on skin wounds due to parasitism by ticks in horses, through histopathological studies, biochemical and oxidative analyzes.
