Feral pigs ( S. scrofa ) were introduced to the Pantanal region around 200 years ago and the population appears to be in expansion. Its eradication is considered to be impossible. The population of feral pigs in the Pantanal wetlands is currently estimated at one million. Two scientific excursions were organized. The first was conducted during the dry season, when 21 feral pigs were captured and the second was during the wet season, when 23 feral pigs were captured. Ticks were collected and the oviposition and hatching process were studied to confirm the biological success of each tick species. Three tick species were found to be feeding on feral pigs:  Amblyomma cajennense ,  A. parvum , and  Ornithodoros rostratus . During the dry season, 178 adult  A. cajennense  were collected, contrasting with 127  A. cajennense  specimens in the wet season. This suggests that the seasonality of these ticks in the Brazilian Pantanal wetlands could be different from other regions. The results indicate that  A. parvum  and  A. cajennense  are biologically successful parasites in relation to feral pigs.  A. cajennense  appears to have adapted to this tick-host relationship, as well as the areas where feral pigs are abundant, and could play a role in the amplification of this tick population.
