Especies de garrapatas duras en un área urbana protegida de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires

Abstract

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las garrapatas (Acari, Ixodida) son artrópodos vectores de gran diversidad de patógenos virales, bacterianos y protozoarios, muchos de los cuales son zoonóticos y emergentes. En Argentina se encuentran numerosas especies de garrapatas duras (familia Ixodidae) que también parasitan al hombre. Las áreas urbanas protegidas son ecosistemas naturales que están dentro de grandes urbes o limitan con ellas. En la Reserva Ecológica Costanera Sur (RECS) de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA) circulan especies silvestres que no tienen presencia en otras áreas de la ciudad, con potenciales hospedadores y vectores. OBJETIVOS: Determinar las especies de garrapatas presentes en la RECS (CABA). MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo descriptivo transversal mediante muestreos para colectar garrapatas de vegetación y de hospedadores como perros y distintas especies de roedores. RESULTADOS: En total se recolectaron 1090 garrapatas de la vegetación (454 de la especie Amblyomma aureolatum, 635 Ixodes auritulus y 1 Amblyomma triste) y 67 de los perros (64 A. aureolatum, 2 Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato y 1 A. triste). No se detectaron garrapatas en 200 roedores revisados. CONCLUSIONES: Las especies de garrapatas detectadas en este estudio tienen importancia en salud pública, tanto porque parasitan a humanos (A. aureolatum, A. triste y R. sanguineus s. l.) como porque participan en el ciclo y transmisión de distintos patógenos zoonóticos en distintas regiones del mundo, incluso Argentina

INTRODUCTION: Ticks (Acari, Ixodida) are arthropod vectors of great diversity of viral, bacterial and protozoan pathogens, many of which are zoonotic and emerging. In Argentina, there are numerous hard tick species (Ixodidae family) which also parasitize humans. Protected urban areas are natural ecosystems located within or near large urban centers. The Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve (RECS) of Buenos Aires city shows a circulation of wild species that have no presence in other areas of the city. There are potential hosts and vectors. OBJECTIVES: A quantitative cross sectional study was carried to detect the species of ticks present in the RECS of Buenos Aires city. METHODS: A quantitative cross - sectional study was carried out by sampling to collect ticks from vegetation and hosts (rodents and dogs). RESULTS: In total, 1090 ticks were collected from the vegetation (454 of the species Amblyomma aureolatum, 635 Ixodes auritulus and 1 Amblyomma triste) and 67 from dogs (64 A. aureolatum, 2 Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato and 1 A. triste). No ticks were detected in 200 examined rodents. CONCLUSIONS: Ticks species detected in this study are important for public health, because they are parasites of humans (A. aureolatum, A. triste and R. sanguineus s. l.) and participate in the cycle and transmission of different zoonotic pathogens in different regions of the world, including Argentina.
