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...

overall 1906 adult ticks, as well as their nymphs and larvae were collected from the body surface of cattle in the animal husbandries located in north, north-east, south and south-west of ahwaz area, khoozestan, iran, during 1991-1993. the identified adult ticks were hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum (c.l.koch, 1844), hyalomma anatolicum excavatum (c.l. koch, 1844), boophilus annulatus (say, 1821)...

AIM Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum ticks transmit Theileria annulata, causative agent of tropical theileriosis to cattle and buffaloes causing a major economic loss in terms of production and mortality in tropical countries. Ticks have evolved several immune evading strategies to circumvent hosts' rejection and achieve engorgement. Successful feeding of ticks relies on a pharmacy of chemicals l...

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....

Development of immunity in cross-bred (Bos taurus x Bos indicus) calves against Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum, vector of bovine tropical theileriosis, was studied using larval antigen (LS) in Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA). Calves immunized with LS + FCA showed significant rejection of larvae (57.25 +/- 6.8) and nymphs (45.75 +/- 5.16). Abnormally fed larvae (11.4 +/- 0.8) and nymphs (8.25 +...

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...

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...

Little is known about tick-borne diseases in Saudi Arabia, particularly regarding the prevalence of theileriosis in small ruminants. This survey studied the potential vectors of malignant theileriosis in Saudi Arabian sheep. Blood, lymph node and tick samples were collected from animals being treated or necropsied at the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Jeddah, Makkah (western region), and B...

A cross-sectional survey of ticks infesting sheep was conducted in Sennar State, Sudan. A total body collection of ticks was carried out at five localities Sennar town, Singa, Dinder, Abu Naama and Um Banein on two types of Desert sheep (Watish and Ashgar) on two farms at each locality at two monthly intervals for one year starting July 2002 to May 2003. Four tick genera and eight species were ...
