Abstract: Biological characteristics of Hyalomma rufipes parasitising on rabbits and sheep were compared under laboratory conditions in Gansu, China. Mature ticks could parasitize both rabbits and sheep, while immature ticks only fed on rabbits successfully. Adults sucked blood on sheep significantly longer than on rabbits (16 and 13 days, respectively). Other adult parasite characteristics fed on the two hosts were similar, including the weight of engorged adult, female daily oviposition, and the weight and amount of t… Show more

“…To compare the potential effect of the demographic history on diversity estimates of the two tick species, the entire mtDNA data sets for the two species were used respectively to calculate the time since expansion for each. Given τ = 1.056 for A. hebraeum and τ = 0.486 for H. rufipes the time since expansion is 70 400 years ago for A. hebraeum (approximately 1 year of generation time [66]) and 64 800 years ago for H. rufipes (6 months of generation time [67]).…”

“…However, there are differences in feeding behaviors. For example, female ticks feed on a larger volume of blood as compared to males, and their body weight can increase to more than 100-fold after feeding [8-11]. This is in contrast to males, which rarely engorged to higher than two-fold their body weight.…”
