“…Among factors that affect tick infestation rate are not only geographical floral features of regions but also climate is very important for ticks' proliferation (Bursali et al, 2012). Also, none of the species of the ticks cause viremia though out all the year (Bursali et al, 2012).…”

Background: A great number of zoonotic diseases with high mortality rate are transmitted by ticks. We performed this study in order to investigate patients admitted to emergency department following a tick bite. We examined the patients and get knowledge about the infestation and we followed up them for possible tick-conducted disease symptoms and laboratory findings both clinically and serologically. Materials and Methods: The study presented was hold for one year, between 01.01.2012 and 31.12.2012. 200 tick infested cases, admitted to Emergency Department of Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital, were subjected in the study. Demographic patterns of the patients and the region they come from, infested area on body, admission time and blood analyzing results were detected. Results: Rate of adult patients to pediatric was 2:1; gender distribution was similar to each other. The most common body areas that ticks were removed from were lower extremity. The highest tick bite incidence was in summer and on weekends. No tick bite incident of Istanbul surrounding from the year 2012 progressed to a zoonotic disease. Conclusions: Although non-of the patients of our study has been diagnosed with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever we informed all of them for the incubation period and call for observation during the time. Tick borne infections may present with vary of symptoms, the most sever of which is hemorrhagic diathesis and patients should be informed for the risks. Knowledge of local area fauna risks may guide physicians so studies on this topic are essential.

“…Also, none of the species of the ticks cause viremia though out all the year (Bursali et al, 2012). Some studies that were hold in Turkey to determine periodic intensity of tick infestations stated that the most intense month is August (Gargili et al, 2010).…”

“…Although Turkey's tick fauna consist of 46 species, 38 species within Ixodidae family, Hyalomma, Haemaphysalis, Rhipicephalus, Dermacentor and Ixodes genus have medical and veterinary importance [1,2] . Previous studies performed on ruminants indicated the existence of different tick species in six genus in Bursa province [6] .…”

In this study, a total of 19866 samples which were collected from humans who applied to the hospitals with tick bites in the western part of Turkey (Bursa) between the years 2007 and 2011 (from February to November) were examined. Approximately 10% (1985) of samples were found as non-ticks like bee stings, lice, fleas and other arthropods. The ticks were identified as Rhipicephalus spp. (72.98%), Ixodes spp. (18.96%), Hyalomma spp. (7.18%), Dermacentor marginatus (0.027%) and Haemaphysalis parva (0.005%). Based on localities, majority of the tick samples were reported from the urbanized areas (81%). Especially, Ixodes spp. species were commonly found in highland and forestry areas of Bursa.

Toplanan örneklerin yaklaşık %10 (1985) kadarının kene olmadığı; arı iğnesi, bit, pire ve diğer artropodlar olduğu görülmüştür. Tür teşhisi yapılan kenelerin %72.98'u Rhipicephalus spp., %18.96'sı Ixodes spp, %7.18'sı Hyalomma spp., %0.027'si Dermacentor marginatus ve %0.005'inin Haemaphysalis parva olduğu teşhis edildi. Kene örneklerinin %81'inin şehir kökenli olduğu ve özellikle Ixodes türü kenelerin Bursa'nın ormanlık alanlarında sıklıkla görüldüğü ortaya çıkarılmıştır.

“…Kenelerin naklettiği 200 kadar patojen arasında protozoon, virus, bakteri, riketsia ve helmint türleri yer almaktadır (18,26). Bu hastalıkların naklinde rol oynayan bazı kene soylarına (Ixodes, Haemaphysalis, Dermacentor, Boophilus, Hyalomma, Rhiphicephalus, Ornithodorus) ait türler Türkiye'de yaygın olarak evcil hayvanlarda görülmektedir (4,5,9,20 (1,6,7,8,19,25,28).…”

Özet: Bu çalışmada Hyalomma excavatum'un laboratuvar şartlarında farklı dönemlerine ait gelişme süreleri saptanarak kolonizasyonu gerçekleştirilmiştir. Laboratuvar şartları altında, H. excavatum'un 3 konaklı hayat siklusunun ortalama 155 (98-212) günde tamamlandığı tespit edilmiştir. Hyalomma excavatum'un aç bir erişkin dişisinin tavşanda beslenmesi esnasında yaklaşık 0,81 (0,58-1,11) gr kan emdiği ve ortalama 8.786 (5.917-12.372) adet yumurtladığı saptanmıştır. Hyalomma excavatum'un kolonizasyonunda, gerbillerin (Meriones unguiculatus) özellikle doymuş larva ve aç nimf üretimi için kullanılması uygun bulunmuştur. Bunun yanında aç erişkinlerin üretilmesinde ve aç erişkinlerden larva elde edilmesinde sırasıyla danaların ve tavşanların uygun konaklar olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.Anahtar sözcükler: Hyalomma excavatum, kolonizasyon, laboratuvar, üretme. The breeding and colonization of Hyalomma excavatum in laboratory conditionsSummary: In this study, colonization and developmental period of different stages of Hyalomma excavatum was determined under laboratory conditions. Three-host life-cycle of H. excavatum was found to be completed in 155 (98-212) days under laboratory conditions. It was determined that a single unfed adult female H. excavatum suck 0,81 (0,58-1,11) gr blood during the feeding and layed an avarage of 8.786 (5.917-12.372) eggs. For the colonization of H. excavatum, gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) were found to be reasonably suitable host for generating engorded larvae and unfed nymph. As well as calf and rabbit were observed to be suitable hosts for the generation of adult unfed ticks and larvae from these adult ticks, respectively.
