T.  aOccurrence of ticks in dogs in a hospital population in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil.h[electronic resource]  c2018  aTítulo em português: Ocorrência de carrapatos em cães de população hospitalar no Espírito Santo.  aTicks, along with fleas, are considered the main ectoparasites affecting dogs in Brazil. The literature is rich in reports on the occurrence of ticks, which are vectors of diseases in both dogs and humans. The study of the epidemiology of these arthropods provides important data that can help control the infestation in residential areas where dogs are present. Thus, the study of their occurrence in urban areas and veterinary services is very important. The aim of the present study was to determine the occurrence of ticks in dogs in a veterinary hospital population in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Over a one-year period (July 2012 to July 2013), 1483 dogs brought to veterinary services in south-eastern Brazil were examined. Among the dogs examined, 8.97% presented tick infestation, of which 100% were identified as Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato. Given that this species of tick acts as a vector for diseases, it is important that the official health services monitor the occurrence of infestation in dogs and humans, in order to identify diseases transmitted by these ticks in this region.  aBrazil  aDogs  aParasitoses  aTicks  aParasitose  aBrasil  aEspírito Santo  aRhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato1 aLABRUNA, M.
