Amblyomma triste en simpatría con amblyomma tigrinum (acari: ixodidae) en la provincia de Santa Fe, Argentina

Abstract

El objetivo del presente trabajo es comunicar el hallazgo de Amblyomma triste por primera vez en laprovincia de Santa Fe, Argentina, y sumar una nueva localidad para Amblyomma tigrinum en lamisma provincia. Ambas especies de garrapatas son reconocidos vectores de Rickettsia parkeri, agente etiológicode la fiebre manchada. Los especímenes fueron colectados durante el mes de agosto de 2014 y diciembre de2015 a partir de turistas en la Fundación Federico Wildermuth (31° 59?S, 61° 24?O), departamento de San Martín,provincia de Santa Fe. Se colectaron 5 garrapatas adultas que fueron identificadas morfológicamente como A.tigrinum (3 hembras y 1 macho) y A. triste (1 hembra). El presente hallazgo de A. triste y A. tigrinum representael primero en incluir a ambas especies del complejo Amblyomma maculatum en una misma localidad y permitealertar sobre la presencia de vectores de R. parkeri en la zona. Nuevos estudios que incluyan el muestreo deun mayor número de garrapatas y la detección de R. parkeri permitirán dilucidar más aspectos sobre la situaciónde esta rickettsia en Santa Fe.

The aim of this communication is to report, for the first time, the occurrence of Amblyomma triste in Santa Fe province, Argentina, and to add a new isolation place for Amblyomma tigrinum. Both species of ticks are vectors of Rickettsia parkeri, a spotted fever group rickettsia. Ticks were recovered from tourists in August 2014 and December 2015 at the Federico Wildermuth Foundation (31° 59’S, 61° 24’O), San Martin Department, Santa Fe province. Five adult ticks were morphologically identified as A. tigrinum (3 females and 1 male) and A. triste (1 female). This is the first finding including both Amblyomma maculatum group species, A. triste and A. tigrinum, together in the same locality in Argentina. This finding suggests that this site might have favorable features for the development of both species of R. parkeri vector. Further studies including sampling of a larger number of ticks and detection of R. parkeri DNA are needed to better document the epidemiology of this rickettsia in Santa Fe.
