The study evaluated prevalence parasitizing dromedary camels (Camelus dromedaries) in Aswan Governorate from July 2020 to August 2021. Of 1190 camels examined 1060 (89%) were infested. Factors were camel age, sex, infested site, and seasonal variations association with the tick distribution, as camels > 10 years were at higher risk rate of 97% (390/410).The infestation rate was 90% (990/1100) in males and 77.8% (70/90) in females. Exposure to infestation was higher in summer 93.7% (458/489) than other seasons. The face, udder, testes, hind limbs, and tail were the most infested site 97.5% (1160/1190) for each, followed by forelimbs was 96.6% (1150/1190), chest was 94% (1120/1190), and abdomen was 92.4% (1100/1190). Statistical analysis of the possible associated risk factors, sampling season, and infested parts within animal body were all found to be significantly affected and related to hard tick distribution (P<0.05). Also, the identification and morphological characterization of the isolated hard ticks were performed using stereomicroscope.
