“…Tuzdil (1936) showed that Ornithodoros lahorensis present in Turkey and play a role in transmission of Tularemia. Later, several investigations have been done on ticks of Turkey by Koehler (1923), Vogel (1927), Schulze (1930), Minning (1934), Pandizis (1947), Delpy (1949), Arthur (1957), Hoogstraal (1959), Hoffmann et al (1971) and Filippova et al (1995).…”

Ticks are important ectoparasites, causing a variety of serious infectious diseases in humans and domestic animals. There is very limited taxonomic information about the tick species of Turkey in the literature, even though Turkey has very suitable climate and vegetation for ticks. In the current study, species diversity, hosts and geographical distribution of the ticks present in Turkey are reviewed based on taxonomic data in the literature from 1915 to 2011 and our recent observations. The names of tick species are arranged according to the most recent check lists. The taxonomic records in the literature and our studies on actual tick samples indicated that the tick fauna of Turkey consists of 46 species; 38 species from Ixodidae and 8 species from Argasidae.

“…Boophilus sharifi Siddiqi & Jan, 1984 is a junior homonym of Boophilus sharifi Minning, 1934, and has apparently not been replaced. If Boophilus sharifi Siddiqi & Jan, 1984 is found to be a valid species, it will need a replacement name.…”

We present the first comprehensive inventory of the mites of Pakistan, based on data from published books and papers. The fauna as presently understood includes 126 families, 316 genera, and 1105 species. The best-documented genera are those that include pests of stored food (for example Acotyledon, 28 species), plant pests (Brevipalpus, 49 species; Tenuipalpus, 35 species), and beneficial predators (Euseius, 44 species; Neoseiulus, 37 species; Phytoseius, 36 species; Typhlodromus, 47 species). Some economically important families such as the Eriophyidae are almost completely unknown. Some of the Cryptostigmata have been studied, but other groups of soil mites are very poorly known. Other large groups such as the feather mites, water mites, Uropodina, and parasitic Astigmata and Prostigmata, have not been studied in a systematic way. An increase in knowledge of these groups would help an assessment of their economic importance, and would make a valuable contribution to the biogeography of the western section of the Oriental Region and the southern section of the Palaearctic Region.

“…Several studies initially supported the conspecificity between these two species (BEDFORD, 1932;ROBERTS, 1965). Overall differences in specimens collected in Australia, America, and Africa are allegedly strong enough to support R. australis as a distinct species (MINNING, 1934). Contrarily, UILENBERG (1962) concluded that these morphological variations did not validate the notion that R. australis is a distinct species; therefore the author synonymized it under the name B. microplus.…”

A revision of two distinct species of Rhipicephalus: R. microplus and R. australis

et al. 2016

Rhipicephalus ( Boophilus) species are monoxenous ticks with seasonal distribution in tropical and subtropical regions. For many years, Rhipicephalus micropluswas considered as a single species; however, further analysis split these ticks into two distinct species. Because R. microplusand R. australisshare similar attributes, it is hard to discriminate these two species and explain the changes in the classification of these parasites over the past decades. The reappearance of R. australisis an outcome of new research, which has afforded to better characterize these probably cryptic species. Evidence based on morphological features, the lack of conspecificity, microsatellite markers, mitochondrial 12S and 16S ribosomal DNA, and mitochondrial genome supports the re-classification of R. microplusas different species. Therefore, populations of R. microplusfrom Australia, Cambodia, Philippines, Indonesia, New Caledonia, Borneo, New Guinea, Tahiti and parts of Southeast Asia were recently reinstated as R. australis. Moreover, a better knowledge on the speciation between these two species could pave the way to important advances in tick control strategies.
