SUMMARY:
During a survey conducted from March to June 2016, 356 dogs and 69 horses were sampled for the presence of ticks and possible pathogens transmitted by them from rural areas located in the Atlantic Forest biome, municipality of Ilhéus, state of Bahia, Both the ticks collected and the blood of the hosts were molecularly tested for the presence of hemoparasites DNA and later analyzed using the PCR technique. Five species of ticks, Rhipicephalus sanguineus (s.l.), Amblyomma ovale, A. sculptum, A.naponense and Rhipicephalus microplus were collected on dogs, while A. sculptum and Dermacentor nitens were collected on horses. Overall, 242 ticks from dogs and 62 from horses and blood from all dogs and horses were analyzed. R. parkeri Atlantic Forest strain was detected in A. ovale collected on dogs. Erlichia canis and Babesia vogeli were detected in R. sanguineus (s.l) and in the blood of the examined dogs. This is the first record of an A. naponense nymph in dogs in the state of Bahia. The multivariate analysis performed using the logistic regression method revealed that dogs with access to forest areas and/or have contact with wild animals are more likely to be positive in blood samples for E.canis and B.vogeli.
