چکیده
b a ckground: ticks are important vectors of human and animal pathogens. they are considered as main vectors fortransmission of many viral, bacterial, rickettsial and parasitical pathogens. the aim of the present study was to find out species diversity of ticks, which infested the domestic ruminants in zabol county, eastern iran in 2012. m e t hods: ticks were selected randomly from sheep, goats, cattle and camels. the ticks were collected from the body of infested animals and stored in 70% ethanol, then transported to the laboratory of zabol university of medi- cal sciences. following examinations under stereomicroscope, ticks were identified using available taxonomic keys. results: in this study, a total number of 469 adult ticks (381 males and 88 females) were collected. ticks were clas- sified into 2 genera and 9 species including: hyalomma dromedarii (17.3%), hy . schulzei (1.8%), hy . marginatum (0.5%), hy . anatolicum excavatum (12.60%), hy . anatolicum anatolicum (11.2%), hy . asiaticum asiaticum (11.0%), rhipicephalus sanguineus (21.2%), rh. bursa (10.2%) and rh. turacunis (13.911%). the frequency of genus hyalomma (54.6%) was higher than rhipicephalus. rh. sanguineus was the predominant tick species and accounted for 21.26% of the ticks. the ratio of males was more than the female ticks. conclusion: hyalomma and rhipicephalus spcies are commonly distributed in the study area. further investiga- tions are needed to identify the role of above tick species as vectors of pathogenic organisms.

متن کاملHard ticks (Acari, Ixodidae) of Croatia
The present paper is based on original and literature data. In Croatia the first studies on the occurrence of ixodid species were made about 80 years ago. The number of tick species recorded in Croatia considerably increased during the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s of the past century. A total of 21 species of hard tick belonging to 5 genera have been recorded in Croatia. Ixodes is the best represent...

Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) infesting camels (Camelus dromedarius) in Northern Sudan.
Monthly total body tick collections from 13-20 camels were conducted for 2 consecutive years (2000-2001) in Northern Sudan. Tick populations were correlated with locality, season, predeliction site, sex and coat colour. Hyalomma dromedarii was found to be the predominant (89%) tick species infesting the camels. Other tick species found in very low numbers were Hyalomma impeltatum (7.7%), Hyalom...
