“…turanicus. This result is consistent with that reported byKadir et al (2012);Mohammad, (2016) andIsmael and Omer, (2020) in different governorates of Iraq Razmi and Yaghfoori (2013). andRamzan et al (2019) andAl-Hamidhi et al (2021) reported these species Ixodid ticks infested sheep in other countries such as Iran, and Saudi Arabia, respectively.…”

This is a first molecular report investigate the phylogenic analysis of Theileria spp. in sheep and it's infested ticks in Mosul city-Iraq. A total of 185 blood samples were collected from sheep in different areas of Mosul city. A sixty five Ixodid ticks were also collected from different parts of infected animals. The overall prevalence of Theileria spp. was 52.4% (97 out of 185), for Theileria ovis it was 9.7%, Theileria lestoquardi it was 20% and mixed infection it was 22.7% in sheep in Mosul city, based on conventional-PCR and multiplex-PCR techniques. the infestation rat of Ixodid ticks on sheep was 11.8% (22 out of 185) and three species of Ixodid ticks (n=65) were identified and classified: Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum 37 (56.9%), Rhipicephalus sanguineus 16 (24.6%), Rh. turanicus 12 (18.4%) based on microscopic examination. BLASTn individual sequencing analysis of six sequences of 18S rRNA gene, composing sequences of T. ovis (n=3) (One extracted from sheep blood and two extracted from engorged female ticks), and sequences of T. lestoquardi (n=3) (One extracted from sheep blood and two extracted from engorged female ticks).

“…In this analysis, there was another difference was the ratio of male to female was 2:1 and the number of males was dominant, the percentage was higher in male than female as follow respectively (70.82%) and (29.17%) and these ratio were different from results were done by Kadir et al,(21) in Kurdistan, Iraq Region and this results may be due to the changes of the climate in Duhok governorate and the season of the collection of ticks. These agree with the results of Salim abadi et al, (22), they found a relative frequencies tick sex were 57% male ticks and 34% female tick.…”

Ticks are harmful ectoparasite that feed on human and animal blood and causing many diseases through the world. They infested many hosts including: mammals, reptiles and birds.Ticks are important vector and they have the ability to transmit a variety of pathogenic agent to humans and animals. Ticks are divided into two major groups which are hard tick (Ixodidae) and soft tick (Argasidae). Because there was no such study done on identification of tick species by PCR technique in Kurdistan and particularly in Duhok Governorate, therefore present study was done to identify tick species by using molecular study by using of 16S rRNA and DNA sequencing. About 1000 ticks were collected from both sheep and goat respectively (500 and 500),

“…Whilst the predicted vector and vector-masked disease outputs reflect the known data well for most of the area of interest, the recorded (and unmasked predicted) disease occurrence in certain parts of Western Asia is probably incorrectly masked by the vector distribution mask. The literature reports H. marginatum to be present (widespread) in Iran [ 13 , 34 , 35 ], further south than the distribution range boundary predicted by Kolonin [ 13 ], so it is likely that the point data available are substantially underrepresented for these regions (Iraq and Iran are not inside the region covered by VectorNet) and also perhaps some of the CCHF pseudo-absences were incorrectly placed in suitable areas in this region. Otherwise, it may be that the vector (and thus the virus in vectors) is present in pockets (perhaps of irrigation) that these spatial suitability models do not ‘detect’.…”

Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is considered to be spreading across the globe, with many countries reporting new human CCHF cases in recent decades including Georgia, Türkiye, Albania, and, most recently, Spain. We update a human CCHF distribution map produced in 2015 to include global disease occurrence records to June 2022, and we include the recent records for Europe. The predicted distributions are based on long-established spatial modelling methods and are extended to include all European countries and the surrounding areas. The map produced shows the environmental suitability for the disease, taking into account the distribution of the most important known and potential tick vectors Hyalomma marginatum and Hyalomma lusitanicum, without which the disease cannot occur. This limits the disease’s predicted distribution to the Iberian Peninsula, the Mediterranean seaboard, along with Türkiye and the Caucasus, with a more patchy suitability predicted for inland Greece, the southern Balkans, and extending north to north-west France and central Europe. These updated CCHF maps can be used to identify the areas with the highest probability of disease and to therefore target areas where mitigation measures should currently be focused.
