background: rhipicephalus ( boophilus ) annulatus tick is one of the most important ectoparasite of cattle. re­cently, several laboratories in the world have been concentrated on immunizing cattle against tick using various types of tissue extracts of ticks. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of immunization of cattle with tick salivary gland extract on biological parameters of ti...

This study aims to identify the types of ticks, calculate prevalence tick infestations, preferences for body part infestations and sex in horses Pinabetengan Raya Village, West Tompaso District, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province. research was carried out one month (thirty days) on 50 horses. Ticks are collected manually using tweezers sequence starting from head, neck, back, abdomen, gr...

The prevalence of tick-harboring domestic animals, tick density, and the species of ticks were studied throughout the year 2000, in Muang Samut Prakan, Bang Phli and Phra Pradaeng districts of Samut Prakan Province. The animals examined were Canis lupus familiaris (450), Bos indicus (cross-bred) (189), Bos taurus (30), Bubalus bubalis (171) and Sus scrofa domestica (450). The total number of co...

Tick-borne rickettsiae are considered to be emerging, but data about their presence in western Europe are scarce. Ixodes ricinus ticks, the most abundant and widespread tick species in western Europe, were collected and tested for the presence of several tick-borne pathogens in western France, a region never previously explored in this context. There was a high tick abundance with a mean of 4 f...

Ticks are considered the second vector of human and animal diseases after mosquitoes. Therefore, identification of ticks and associated pathogens is an important step in the management of these vectors. In recent years, Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has been reported as a promising method for the identification of arthropods includin...

tick are considered as the main vector for transmission of various diseases to human being. this study was carried out to investigate the fauna of species belonging to two families of ticks, ixodidae and argasidae in west azerbaijan province, iran. a total number of 62 villages were selected randomly, from the study area 3278 ticks were collected with cluster sampling method, after collection t...

Worldwide, wild birds play a vital role in the dispersal of ticks that harbour tick-borne pathogens, including Borrelia burgdorferi, the Lyme disease bacterium. Using PCR testing, we found 124 (31%) of 405 ticks (4 species), which were collected from 21 species of birds in far-western Canada, to be infected with B. burgdorferi. Transstadial transmission of B. burgdorferi occurred from larva to ...

Ticks as vectors of Ehrlichia parasites have been the subject of study in North Carolina since 1993. Recently, Ehrlichia ewingii, which causes canine granulocytic ehrlichiosis, was documented as causing human illness in Missouri (3). Previously, the Lone Star tick, Amblyomma americanum, was confirmed as the vector of this parasite in dogs (2). Accordingly, in 1999, we focused our efforts on det...
