%X Effect of capybaras management on ticks¡¯ occurrence in areas with people movement was analyzed. Between the months of December 2008 and March 2009 were installed 2200 meters of fencing at the limits between the areas forested and tanks, ponds and laboratories areas at CEPTA (Research and Conservation National Center for Continental Fish), located in Pirassununga/SP, Brazil, to retain capybara. It was observed decrease in the occurrence of ticks in people, in areas where capybaras were prevented to access. The management of capybaras by preventing access to areas of greatest movement of people decrease ticks occurrence and avoid diseases caused by them. = O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o efeito do manejo de capivaras com rela  o ¨¤ ocorr¨ºncia e dispers o de carrapato em ¨¢reas com circula  o e transito de humanos. Entre os meses de dezembro de 2008 e mar o de 2009, foram instalados 2.200 metros de alambrado nos limites entre as ¨¢reas florestadas e as ¨¢reas de tanques, viveiros e laborat¨®rios no CEPTA (Centro Nacional de Pesquisa e Conserva  o de Peixes Continentais), localizado em Pirassununga/SP, Brasil, para reter as capivaras. Observou-se queda acentuada de ocorr¨ºncias de carrapatos em humanos, nas ¨¢reas em que as capivaras estiveram impedidas de acesso. O manejo de capivaras por meio do impedimento de acesso ¨¤s ¨¢reas de maior circula  o de humanos diminui a ocorr¨ºncia de carrapatos nessas ¨¢reas e, consequentemente, previne doen as por eles transmitidas.
