identification of ixodidae ticks of imported camels in zabol area
Authors
abstract
considering the importance of ticks in terms of the spread of diseases among camels, various types of ticks in zabol were studied. during this study which started at february of 2006 till july of 2007, 260 camels were selected randomly from 5 regions. the breeds of camels were camelus dromedary (imported from afghanistan). in this study the genus and species of 331 ticks were diagnosed. the results of this study showed that 9% of camels were infected. the frequency of hyalomma dromedarii and hyalomma anatolicum were 96.67% and 3.32% respectively. as in this study, only 2 species of hyalomma were diagnosed, it seems that the variety of ixodidae ticks was very less and needs more investigation about tick fauna in camels.

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...

BACKGROUND Ticks are important vectors of human and animal pathogens. They are considered as main vectors for transmission 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. METHODS Ticks were selected randomly from sheep, goats, c...

Introduction: Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic viral infection transmitted mainly via CCHF virus-infected ticks between vertebrate hosts. The disease occurs in almost all provinces of Iran. This study investigated the CCHFV infection in hard ticks collected from livestock in the Sistan region of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, southeast of Iran. Methods: In this study, tick...
