IXODID TICKS IN NORTH — EASTERN UZBEKISTAN: FAUNA, DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS AND ECOLOGY
https://doi.org/10.12737/21652
Abstract
Objective of research: To study the species diversity of ticks in the north – eastern part ofUzbekistan: fauna, distribution patterns and ecology.
Materials and methods: Research samples were collected with the use of common parasitological methods [2, 3, 4]. Host animals were examined once a decade by collecting parasites from certain groups of farm and wild animals.
Results and discussion: 13 species of 6 tick genera discovered during the research period on the territory of the north - easternUzbekistan: Ixodes persulcatus, I. redikorzevi,I. crenulatus, Haemaphusalis caucasica, Boophilus calcaratus, Dermacentor pictus, D. daghestanicus, D. pavlovskyi, Rhipicephalis turanicus, H. asiaticum, H. detritum, H. anatolicum, H. plumbeum turanikum. Species B. salcaratus, H. asiaticum are distributed in all survey areas what confirms their high ecological flexibility. The extensity of infection of livestock with ticks is rather high - 51.3 - 52.3%. The infestation of synanthropic and wild animals ranged from 37.0 to 40.0%.
