Resumo

Objetivou-se realizar a identifica\ç\ão da ectoparasitofauna do roedor Holochilus sciureus de forma a descrever a din\âmica da inter-rela\ç\ão entre parasitos, o hospedeiro e o ambiente. Para tanto, esses animais foram capturados na cidade de S\ão Bento, estado do Maranh\ão. Utilizaram-se pentes finos e pin\ças met\álicas para a coleta dos ectoparasitos que foram conservados em etanol a 70\% e identificados com aux\ílio de chaves taxon\ômicas. Calcularam-se par\âmetros ecoepidemiol\ógicos (abund\ância, preval\ência, intensidade m\áxima e m\édia) de cada grupo identificado. A ocorr\ência de infesta\ç\ões mistas tamb\ém foi investigada. Realizaram-se testes estat\ísticos de correla\ç\ão de Pearson (p\<0,05) entre as vari\áveis: abund\ância dos ectoparasitos, caracter\ísticas biol\ógicas do hospedeiro e \índice pluviom\étrico da regi\ão. Foi obtido um total de 104 roedores e 5109 ectoparasitos, que foram identificados como: Prolistrophorus spp. (59,13\%), Laelaps sp. (34,9\%), Hoplopleura sp. (5,83\%) e larvas de Metacuterebra sp. (0,03\%). Os valores dos par\âmetros ecoepidemiol\ógicos foram mais elevados para Prolistrophorus spp. As infesta\ç\ões triplas foram as mais frequentes (57,74\%). Dentre as correla\ç\ões realizadas, somente o comprimento total em roedores machos influenciou de maneira negativa e significativa a abund\ância de Laelaps sp. O \ácaro Prolistrophorus spp., o piolho Hoplopleura e, larvas de Metacuterebra sp. constituem primeiros registros para o estado do Maranh\ão.

English title: Biodiversity and interaction of ectoparasites in sylvatic rodents Holochilus\ sciureus Brandt, 1835 (Rodentia: Cricetidae), captured in Maranh\ão state, Brazil

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to carry out the identification of ectoparasites fauna of Holochilus sciureus rodents in order to describe the dynamics of inter-relationship between parasites, the host and the environment. Therefore, these animals were captured in S\ão Bento city, state of Maranh\ão, Brazil. We used fine-toothed combs and metal tweezers for collecting the ectoparasites that were preserved in 70\% ethanol and identified with taxonomic keys. Ecoepidemiological parameters (abundance, prevalence, maximum and average intensity) of each identified group, were calculated. The occurrence of mixed infestations was also investigated. Statistical tests of Pearson\&$\#$39;s correlation (p\<0.05) were performed between the variables: abundance of ectoparasites, biological characteristics of the host and pluviometric index of the region. A total of 104 rodents was obtained and 5109 ectoparasites were identified as: Prolistrophorus spp. (59.13\%), Laelaps sp. (34.9\%), Hoplopleura sp. (5.83\%), larvae of Metacuterebra sp. (0.03\%). The values of the ecoepidemiological parameters were higher for Prolistrophorus spp. Triple infestations were the most frequent (57.74\%). Among the correlations, only the total length in male rodents influenced in a negative and significant way the abundance of Laelaps sp. We made here the first records of the mite Prolistrophorus spp., the lice Hoplopleura sp. and the dipteran Metacuterebra sp. larvae for Maranh\ão state.
