Ticks are important acarina that infest animals. They are obligatory blood sucker arthropods which economically impact cattle industry by reducing weight gain and production. Moreover, they are important vectors of viral, bacterial, rickettsial and parasitic pathogens infecting humans and animals. In view of the importance of Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum in pathogen transmission, including Th...

The present study looks at the morphological and molecular distinct features of tick Hyalomma anatolicum, a livestock-important that transmits production-decreasing pathogens. A total 17 ticks were collected from infested skin cattle in Al-Daghara city, Al-Qadisiyah province, Iraq, Oct 15, 2022, to Nov 2022. All investigated microscopically identify tick-external genotypical, using partial sequ...

Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum nymphs were collected from two localities in the Sudan: Eddamer in Northern Sudan and Wad-Medani in Central Sudan. They were allowed to moult to adult ticks, which were assessed for Theileria infection in their salivary glands using Feulgen stain. At Eddamer, 49.6% of 123 ticks examined were infected with Theileria and the mean intensity of infection was 1.3 (i.e....

background: taxonomy and identification of the ticks in the genus hyalomma, the most significant vectors of animal and human pathogen agents, have always been debatable. scientists believe that variation within the taxa of the genus hyalomma is the most important factor which causes misidentification. objectives: the purpose of this study is to identify valuable characters for male h. anatolicu...

BACKGROUND Chemical control method using different acaricides as spray, dipping solution or pour-on is routinely used for controlling ticks. Biological control agents are favorable due to their safety for animals and environment. Entomopathogenic fungi such as Beauveria bassiana are well known for controlling ticks. In this study, two Iranian indigenous strains of B. bassiana (B. bassiana 5197 ...

Comparative immunostimulatory properties of saponin and incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) were studied using affinity purified 39 kDa larval antigen of Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum. Significant antibody response to 39 kDa antigen was detected in the sera of rabbits immunized with both 39 kDa plus saponin and 39 kDa plus IFA in comparison to their corresponding control animals. Insignificant ...
