| description | Objective. To describe the seasonal variation and perform a comparative analysis on habitat
preference of Haemaphysalis juxtakochi in Panama. Materials and methods. Ticks were collected
from the vegetation, using a white cloth, between January 2009 and March 2010, in four site located
in Summit Municipal Park (SMP), two in wooded area (WA) and two in grasslands (GR).The ticks were
determined as larvae, nymphs and adults of H. juxtakochi. The number of ticks collected in each
area was employed to describe the seasonal distribution of both immature and adult stages, and the
non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test. Results. A total of 2.338 ticks in WA and 560 ticks in GR were
collected. The major peak of adults from May to July, nymphs peaked from January to April and the
peak of larvae abundance from December and January. There was a significant difference in the number
of ticks collected in the two areas for each tick stage (larvae, mean number (MN) in WA 120.14, MN
in GR 57.07, P: 0.02; nymphs, MN in WA 46.42, MN in GR 16.38, P: 0.018; adults, MN in WA 6.64,
MN in GR 1.78, P: 0.02). Conclusions. The results suggest that H. juxtakochi maintains a one-year
cycle in the study areas. This cycle would be characterized by the immature population peaks in the
dry season; while adults are distributed throughout year, with a peak in the transition from the rainy
and dry. Moreover, H. juxtakochi was more abundant in forests than in grasslands, which could lead
to a better adaptation to forested conditions. |

Describir la variación estacional y realizar un análisis comparativo de la preferencia de hábitat de H. juxtakochi en Panamá. Materiales y métodos. Se recolectaron mensualmente garrapatas de la vegetación utilizando una tela blanca, entre enero de 2009 y marzo de 2010 en cuatro sitios establecidos en el Parque Municipal Summit (PMS), dos en área de pastizales (AP) y dos en área boscosa (AB). Las garrapatas fueron identificadas como larva, ninfa y adulto de H. juxtakochi.

ISSN: 0122-0268 3985 número de garrapatas recolectadas en cada área fue empleado para describir la distribución estacional de ambos estadios inmaduros y adultos, y se compararon con la prueba no paramétrica Mann-Whitney U. Resultados. Se recolectó un total de 2.338 garrapatas en AP y 560 garrapatas en AB. El mayor pico de garrapatas adultas fue de mayo hasta julio, los picos de ninfas fueron de enero hasta abril y los picos de abundancia de larvas desde diciembre hasta enero. Hubo diferencias significativas en el número de garrapatas recolectadas en las dos áreas para cada estadio (número promedio de larvas en AB 120.14, en AP 57.07, P: 0.02; número promedio de ninfas en AB 46.42, en AP 16.38, P:0.018; número promedio de adultos en AB 6.64, en AP 1.78, P: 0.02). Conclusiones. Los resultados sugieren que H. juxtakochi mantiene un ciclo de un año en las áreas de estudio. Este ciclo estaría caracterizado por picos poblacionales de ejemplares inmaduros en la época seca; mientras que los adultos se distribuyen a lo largo de todo año, con un pico en la transición entre la época lluviosa y seca. Por otra parte, H. juxtakochi fue más abundante en bosques que en pastizales, lo cual podría suponer mejores adaptaciones a condiciones boscosas. Fil: García G., Gleydis.
