“…In a study from the northwestern of central plateau of Iran, 3 genera of hard ticks were found including: Hyalomma, Rhipicephalus and Haemaphysalis which were parallel to our study [19] [24]. In past studies in Iran, the population frequency of Hyalomma were reported to be higher than any genus [6,10,[12][13][14]19,20,23,24,29], which is parallel to our finding.…”

“…It is well adapted to extreme dryness of habitat and to camel hosts [30]. This species was reported in different regions (Sistan-va-balouchestan, Khorasan, Quom, Boushehr, Golestan, Boeenzahra and Takistan) of Iran [11,19,20,26]. In our report, this species had low frequency (2.7%) among collected ticks, unlike to Shemshad et al [19].…”

“…During 1999-2011, 871 human cases of CCHF were also diagnosed in Iran [ 11 , 25 ]. As previous studies (0.06 and 0.63%) [ 16 , 18 ], present study shows that H. concinna is less commonly encountered (0.36%) and found in spring. In Iran, as present study which found in the mountainous areas of the Lorestan province ( Table 3 , Table 4 , Figure 4 ) it is commonly consisted in the east of the Caspian sea zone to southern mountainous areas such as Guilan, Mazandaran and Golestan and Azarbaiejan, Ardebil, Kohgilouyeh and Kordistan, respectively.…”

IntroductionTicks are non-permanent obligate parasites that have considerable medical-veterinary and zoonosis importance. In this regard a study designed to investigate the distribution and fauna of ticks in the Alashtar county in Iran from April and March 2014.MethodsTicks were collected from livestock farms and facilities from selected rural and geographically location in the Alashtar county. Based morphological characteristics and reference identification keys, ticks were identified.ResultsA total of 549 ticks including 411 hard and 138 soft ticks were found. Ten tick species including Haemaphysalis concinna (0.36%), Haemaphysalis sulcata (0.36%), Hyalomma anatolicum (0.18%), Hyalomma dromedarii (0.18%), Hyalomma marginatum (1.45 %), Hyalomma schulzei (0.36%), Rhipicephalus annulatus (0.18%), Rhipicephalus bursa (28.1%), Rhipicephalus sanguineus (43.63%) and Argas persicus (25.2%) were identified. Tick seasonal distribution were 47.26%, 22.63%, 14.96% and 15.15% in the spring, summer, autumn and winter, respectively. The tick distribution was more from plain areas (64.96%) than the mountainous areas (35.04%). The rates of the tick contamination were 97.3% and 2.7% in the traditional and industrial livestock's, respectively. The livestock contamination ranks to the hard ticks were cattle (39.51%), sheep (34.15%) and goats (26.34 %), respectively. Chi-square analysis showed a significant difference among the seasonal distribution of the ticks in the spring, summer and autumn or winter; between the tick distribution in the plain and mountainous areas; and between the traditional and industrial livestock's tick contamination (P < 0.05).ConclusionPresent study proves to change the traditional livestock's to the industrial livestock's. These findings highlight the importance of ticks and shows need to their control and tick pest management.
