The present study aimed to molecularly identify and characterize the hard ticks infesting camels from northern region (Ha’il province) of Saudi Arabia using mitochondrial barcoding gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI). sequences tick samples in three regions Ha’il were aligned with those previously reported different geographic regions, revealing nine haplotypes, which six newly described th...

background: ticks are the main vectors for transmission of different pathogens to human and animals. this survey was performed to find out distribution of ticks, which infested the domestic ruminants in yazd province, central iran during year 2008-2009. methods: a total number of 30 villages from both mountainous (20%) and plateau (80%) regions of the province were selected randomly. ticks were...

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 res...

BACKGROUND Ticks are important vectors and reservoirs of Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) virus. Human beings may be infected whenever the normal life cycle of the infected ticks on non-human vertebrate hosts is interrupted by the undesirable presence of humans in the cycle. A total of 26 species of Argasid and Ixodid ticks have been recorded in Iran; including nine Hyalomma, two Rhipicep...

Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne viral disease that is transmitted by numerous species of ticks, which serve both as a reservoir and vector of CCHF virus (CCHFV). Molecular and serological tests were undertaken on hard ticks (Ixodidae spp.) and samples from livestock were collected in 2015 from Chabahar County in Southeast Iran. Using RT-PCR, the ticks were tested for the ...
