Abstract

This study reports the first record of parasitism of Ixodes luciae Sénevet, on the marsupial Marmosops noctivagus (Tschudi), in Brazil and in South America. The tick I. luciae, previously recorded in Brazil in the Amazonas state, was collected from the marsupial using a flight intercept trap suspended 28 meters above ground, at the canopy level, in an area located 60 km north from Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. It is the first time this marsupial has been collected with this type of trap, representing a bycatch collection. Both records highlight significant contributions to better understanding host-parasite interactions and the biodiversity of the Amazonian ecosystem. Both 18S rRNA and 16S rRNA sequences showed 100% identity with previously available I. luciae sequences. Molecular analysis did not indicate the presence of Rickettsiales agents in I. luciae.

在南美洲首次记录到露珠硬蚊（蜱螨亚纲：硬蚊科）寄生于夜绵鼠（双翅蝗科：双翅蝗科）。

本研究报告了巴西和南美洲首次发现的luciae ssamnevet寄生在有袋类夜绒猴（Tschudi）身上的记录。以前在巴西亚马逊州记录到的蜱虫，是在巴西亚马逊州玛瑙斯以北60公里的一个地区，使用悬浮在离地面28米的树冠层上的飞行拦截陷阱从有袋类动物身上收集到的。这是第一次用这种类型的陷阱收集这种有袋动物，代表副渔获物收集。这两项记录都突出了对更好地理解宿主-寄生虫相互作用和亚马逊生态系统生物多样性的重大贡献。18S rRNA和16S rRNA序列与已有的luciae序列同源性100%。分子分析未发现luciae中存在立克次体病原体。
