          This work could not have been carried out were it not for the immense collaboration of all the components of the team and the Federal University of Amazonas (UFAM) for the basic infrastructure where we carry out all our work.

 

           Special thank-you to Valéria Onófrio for assisting in the identifications and who kindly presented us with a volume of the Identification Manual by Barros-Batestti et al. (2006) which enabled the work to start in 2011.

 

           We also thank Thiago Martins and Marcelo Labruna for having confidence in our work and for having promptly confirmed the identification of some species and for providing some specimens of ixodids from the National Collection of Ticks (CNC) so that we could take photos for this manual.
