Abstract

The soft tick, Ornithodoros rietcorreai, is a parasite of the rodent, Kerodon rupestris, and, to a lesser extent, of bats living in rock cavities in Northeastern Brazil. This report describes the first recorded episodes of human parasitism by this argasid tick, reported to the Brazilian Ministry of Health in September 2017. We assessed outdoor environments, roofs, animal nests and chicken coops in five houses located in an urban area of Russas City, Ceará State, Brazil. Our results confirmed the presence of the tick in two of the assessed houses. The collected specimens were molecularly identified as O. rietcorreai. Of the ten individuals living in the investigated properties, three reported being parasitized by ticks. Although O. rietcorreaiticks were recovered from the evaluated houses, the primary hosts for the ticks were not identified. The retrospective medical records of parasitized individuals reported the following: local pruritus 3/3, malaise 3/3, local edema and erythema 3/3, local rash 3/3, local pain 3/3, slow lesion healing 3/3 and paresthesia 1/3. One of the individuals reported four parasitism episodes (March, June, July and August 2017) and required medical attention and the administration of anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory drugs. The aforementioned reports were the first to address human parasitism, with subsequent toxicosis, by this tick species in Brazilian urban areas. Attention was drawn to the potential consequences of such episodes to the health of previously exposed individuals.
