Conteúdo: | A study of ticks associated with animals was carried out from September 1996 to April 1998 at the Fazenda Alegria (21,000 ha), in the Nhecolandia Pantanal, State of Mato Grosso do Suil, Brazil, a sunken plain bordering the upper Paragau river, located 19 x 08'S; 56 x 46'W. A total of 81 wild animals (13 species, 6 orders) were captured with the aid of nets, and ticks were found on 63 (78%). Tick species identified included Boophilus microplus (Canestrini), Amblyoma cajennense (F.), A. parvum (Aragao), A. pseudoconcolor (Aragao), A. scalpturatum (Neumann), A. nodosum (Neuman, A. ovale (Koch), and A. tigrinum (Koch). Dragging from grasslands (campos) yielded negative results compared to high concentration of ticks, mainly nymphs, that were collected from leaves in the forests (capao). Predomainance of immature instars (Amblyomma genera) was observed in the end of winter (August-September). Ticks were associated mainly with coatis, deer (Mazama gouazoubira) and anteater, and these animals may play a role in the epidemiology of tick- transmitted pathogens in the Pantanal if one consider their coexistence with local domestic animals.
