BackgroundThe taxonomic status of the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu stricto), which has long been regarded as the most widespread tick worldwide and a vector of many pathogens to dogs and humans, is currently under dispute.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive morphological and genetic study of 278 representative specimens, which belonged to different species (i.e., Rhipicephalus bursa, R. guilhoni, R. microplus, R. muhsamae, R. pusillus, R. sanguineus sensu lato, and R. turanicus) collected from Europe, Asia, Americas, and Oceania. After detailed morphological examination, ticks were molecularly processed for the analysis of partial mitochondrial (16S rDNA, 12S rDNA, and cox1) gene sequences.ResultsIn addition to R. sanguineus s.l. and R. turanicus, three different operational taxonomic units (namely, R. sp. I, R. sp. II, and R. sp. III) were found on dogs. These operational taxonomical units were morphologically and genetically different from R. sanguineus s.l. and R. turanicus. Ticks identified as R. sanguineus s.l., which corresponds to the so-called “tropical species” (=northern lineage), were found in all continents and genetically it represents a sister group of R. guilhoni. R. turanicus was found on a wide range of hosts in Italy and also on dogs in Greece.ConclusionsThe tropical species and the temperate species (=southern lineage) are paraphyletic groups. The occurrence of R. turanicus in the Mediterranean region is confirmed. A consensual re-description of R. sanguineus s.s. and R. turanicus will be necessary to solve the taxonomic problems within the so-called R. sanguineus group.

“…From the morphological point of view, the strong taxonomic character to separate the two genera is the number of aeropiles on the peritrematic plate (Serra-Freire & Mello, 2006). The number has been shown to vary from 6 to 15 in Anocentor nitens (Gazeta & Serra-Freire, 1995, 1996Gazeta et al, 2001), with bilateral asymmetry and the possibility of regional variation and cline formation, while in Dermacentor spp. there are always more than two dozen aeropiles.…”

“…LABRUNA et al, 2005;SARAIVA et al, 2012;MARTINS et al, 2016), there are still gaps that need to be filled. In the state of Rio de Janeiro, there are few studies on this topic, and the records have mainly been on domestic animals (GAZÊTA et al, 2001;LUZ et al, 2014). In this context, the aim of the present study was to report on tick species parasitizing mammals in two areas of the Atlantic Forest…”

Mammals captured in the Serra dos Órgãos National Park (PARNASO) and the Pedra Branca State Park (PBSP) between 2012 and 2015 were examined for the presence of ticks. In total, 140 mammals were examined, and 34 specimens were found to be parasitized by ticks. Didelphis aurita, Akodon montensis and Oligoryzomys nigripes were the species most parasitized. From these specimens, 146 ticks were collected, including 10 larvae. The ticks belonged to eight species: one in the genus Ixodes and seven in the genus Amblyomma. This study reports new associations of ticks and wild mammals in Brazil.
