Abstract

Abstract The aim of this paper was to provide new records of Amblyomma sculptum on two species of terricolous birds in two areas of the Cerrado (savannah- like) bioma: two specimens of Cariama cristata were captured in the state of Goiás and one specimen ofCrax fasciolata was captured in the state of Minas Gerais. One of the C. cristata was parasitized by 15 larvae, six nymphs, one male and two females whereas the C. fasciolata was parasitized by seven larvae and eight nymphs. This paper presents a new locality for occurrence of parasitism A. sculptum in C. cristata and a new host for C fasciolata.Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi apresentar novos registros de Amblyomma sculptum em duas espécies de aves terrícolas em duas áreas do bioma Cerrado: dois espécimes de Cariama cristata foram capturados no Estado de Goiás e um exemplar de Crax fasciolata foi capturado no Estado de Minas Gerais.
