Hyalomma scupense is a two-host tick infesting mainly cattle representing in North Africa the vector of tropical theileriosis (Theileria annulata infection), a major tick-borne disease affecting cattle. Any effective control programme of ticks requires a good knowledge of the biology of the target species. In the present study, three cattle farms in northeast Tunisia were surveyed during the ac...

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, goat...

Background:Crimean Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is an emerging tick-borne viral zoonotic disease that endemic in Iran. The CCHF virus spread by RNA of the genus Orthonairovirus , family Nairoviridae. has been identified as most frequent hemorrhagic fever route transmission to humans through infected tick bites, contact with livestock, blood or tissues humans. Objectives: aim this study was in...

A cross-sectional study was conducted in River Nile State, Sudan, between June to August 2018 determine the prevalence of tick infestation on sheep and potential risk factors associated with infestation. total 135 from five different localities (Shendi, Al Matamah, Ad-Damer, Atbara, Berber) were examined and, these, 90 tick-infested (66.7%). 340 ticks (male 185, female 155) collected identified...

BACKGROUND Ticks are hematophagous arthropod belonging to the Class of Arachnids. Ticks are also one of the major vectors of pathogens to animal and human. This study was conducted to determine tick infestation rate of sheep in Abdanan during 2007-2008. METHODS Sampling was performed seasonally in 19 villages during spring 2007 until winter 2008. A total of 1095 sheep were selected and tested...

b a ckground: a survey on tick species composition was carried out in golestan province iran during year 2010–2011.the aim was to determine tick species parasitizing domestic ruminants and their seasonal population dynamics. methods: a total of 124 sheep, 92 goats, 84 cattle, 74 camels and 12 horses in several villages were inspected for tick infestation. the collected ticks preserved in 70% al...

The present study was conducted as the first molecular detection of Anaplasma species in tick samples based on the sequencing of major surface proteins 4 (msp4) gene fragments in different parts of Iran. A total of 130 tick specimens were collected from Hormozgan, Lorestan, and Guilan, Iran, within 2015 to 2017. Hyalomma asiaticum, Hyalomma dromedarii</em...
