This research reports ticks on wild mammals from the Serra da Canastra National Park and surrounding areas, in Minas Gerais state, Brazil. From July 2005 to June 2014, 58 larvae, 133 nymphs and 43 adult ticks were collected in 40 capture events of free-living mammals at the Park and surrounding areas. The tick species _Amblyomma ovale_ Koch, 1844, _Amblyomma sculptum_ Berlese, 1888, _Amblyomma tigrinum_ Koch, 1844, _Dermacentor nitens_ Neumann, 1897, and _Rhipicephalus microplus_ (Canestrini, 1888) were identified on hosts of the order Carnivora. Specimens of _Amblyomma pseudoconcolor_ AragÆo, 1908 and _A. sculptum_ were identified on the hosts of the order Xenarthra. We provide the first records of _D. nitens_ and _R. microplus_ ticks parasitizing _Lycalopex vetulus_, and _A. ovale_ on _Leopardus tigrinus_ in Brazil. The findings of this research indicate the sharing of environment by domestic and wild animals caused by agricultural expansion in the Brazilian landscape. |
