Resumo

As carraças são ectoparasitas hematófagos obrigatórios que transmitem uma grande variedade de agentes patogénicos sendo considerados os principais vectores de doenças no caso de animais. Os piroplasmas Babesia bovis e B. bigemina são transmitidos essencialmente por carraças Rhipicephalus microplus e R. annulatus, consideradas os ectoparasitas de maior impacto económico na produção de gado. O método mais utilizado no controlo destes vectores continua a ser o uso de acaridas apesar das desvantagens que apresentam. As vacinas contra carraças não têm tido o impacto esperado devido à dificuldade em identificar antigénios eficazes. O antigénio calreticulina foi identificado em R. annulatus num estudo anterior onde foi demonstrado o seu envolvimento no processo de infecção por B. bigemina. Para testar este antigénio em ensaios de vacinação, a sua caracterização prévia é essencial. Uma alternativa de baixo custo para testar antigénios é a observação dos efeitos biológicos causados pela inoculação na carraça de drogas ou anticorpos contra uma determinada proteína. A alimentação artificial de carraças, apesar de não permitir a substituição de ensaios em gado, possibilita a obtenção de dados críticos na selecção de antigénios optimizando recursos. No estudo aqui apresentado pretendemos avaliar o efeito de anticorpos policlonais anti-antigénios de interesse no processo de alimentação e infecção, em carraças fêmea, R. microplus, alimentadas artificialmente.
