Biological and ecological aspects of hard ticks

Abstract

Os carrapatos duros são ectoparasitas hematófagos da família Ixodidae. Estes ácaros têm sido considerados sempre como agentes que influem negativamente nos sistemas de produção de gado bovino, nos que se lhes reconhece como causantes de perdas econômicas e produtivas. Porém, a sua função ecológica é importante para o equilíbrio dinâmico do sistema de produção de carne ou leite bovina. O conhecimento da sua biologia e ecologia podeilustrar a tomada de decisões sanitárias que se façam sobre estes organismos. Este artigo de revisão apresenta aspectos relacionados com a classificação, características, ciclo de vida dos carrapatos duros e as relações vector-parasita-hospedeiro. Além do mais, trata-se o tema do controle de ectoparasitas em sistemas de produção de gado convencional e as implicações que estes modelos de intervenção poderiam ter no agroecosistema.

Las garrapatas duras son ectoparásitos hematófagos de la familia Ixodidae. Estos ácaros han sido considerados siempre como agentes disruptores de los sistemas ganaderos, en los que se les reconoce como causantes de pérdidas económicas y productivas. Sin embargo, su función ecológica es importante para el equilibrio dinámico del sistema de producción de carne o leche bovina. El conocimiento de su biología y ecología puede ilustrar la toma de decisiones sanitarias que se hagan sobre estos organismos. Este artículo de revisión presenta aspectos relacionados con la clasificación, características, ciclo de vida de las garrapatas duras y las relaciones vector-parásitohospedador.Además, se trata el tema del control de ectoparásitos en sistemas de ganadería convencional y las implicaciones que estos modelos de intervención podrían tener en el agroecosistema.

Hard ticks are blood-sucking ectoparasites of Ixodidae family. These mites have been always considered disrupting agents of livestock systems, where they are recognized as the cause of economic and production losses. However, their ecological role is important for the dynamic equilibrium of the production systems bovine meat or milk. Knowing their biology and ecology can shed light on the sanitary decisions made in relation to these organisms. This review article presents issues related to classification, characteristics, and life cycle of hard ticks and relations vector-parasite-host. In addition, it addresses the control of ectoparasites on conventional livestock systems and the implications that these models of intervention might have on agro-ecosystem.
