“…However, his work published in Turkish was not accessible to the scientific community. Later, Ozkan et al (1988) and Erman et al (2007) published the checklists of the Acari of Turkey, including ticks. Between 1978 and2002, systematic studies on ticks almost stopped and limited to some veterinary studies.…”

A review of the ticks (Acari: Ixodida) of Turkey: species diversity, hosts and geographical distribution

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.

“…In contrast, ixodid tick fauna of Turkey appear to consist of only 39 species from six genera (Kurtpinar 1954, Hoogstraal 1959, Merdivenci 1969, Ozkan 1978, Erman et al 2007, Bursali et al 2008, 2009 because of very limited number of systematic studies on ticks.…”

Species Diversity of Ixodid Ticks Feeding on Humans in Amasya, Turkey: Seasonal Abundance and Presence of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus

et al. 2011

Ticks (Acari:Ixodidae) are important pests transmitting tick-borne diseases such as Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) to humans. Between 2002 and 2009, numerous CCHF cases were reported in Turkey, including Amasya province. In the current study, species diversity, seasonal abundance of ticks, and presence of CCHF virus (CCHFV) in ticks infesting humans in several districts of Amasya province were determined. In the survey, a total of 2,528 ixodid ticks were collected from humans with tick bite from April to November 2008 and identified to species. Hyalomma marginatum (18.6%), Rhipicephalus bursa (10.3%), Rhipicephalus sanguineus (5.7%), Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus (2.2%), Dermacentor marginatus (2.5%), Haemaphysalis parva (3.6%), and Ixodes ricinus (1.6%) were the most prevalent species among 26 ixodid tick species infesting humans in Amasya province. Hyalomma franchinii Tonelli & Rondelli, 1932, was a new record for the tick fauna of Turkey. The most abundant species were the members of Hyalomma and Rhipicephalus through summer and declined in fall, whereas relative abundances of Ixodes and Dermacentor ticks were always low on humans in the province. Of 25 Hyalomma tick pools tested, seven pools were CCHFV positive by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results indicated diversity of ixodid tick species infesting humans was very high, abundance of ticks changed by season, and ticks infesting humans had potential for transmitting CCHFV.

“…Since the last catalogue by Amrine and Stasny (1994) which included a world eriophyoid fauna list, a few local or regional checklists have been published or updated for the Palaearctic (Bernini et al 1995;Petanović and Stanković 1999;Redfern et al 2002;Skoracka et al 2005;Erman et al 2007;Ripka 2007;Mifsud et al 2008), Indomalaya (Kuang 1995Hong and Zhang 1996b;Kuang et al 2005), Nearctic (Baker et al 1996), and Australasian (Halliday 1998) regions. Recently, a European checklist has been published on-line within the Fauna Europaea project (de Lillo 2004).…”

Fundamental knowledge on the morphology, biology, ecology, and economic importance of Eriophyoidea has been exhaustively compiled by Lindquist et al. (Eriophyoid mites--their biology, natural enemies and control; Elsevier, 1996). Since that time, the number of recognized species and the economic importance of the taxon have increased substantially. The aim of this paper is to analyze and briefly review new findings from eriophyoid mites' literature after Lindquist et al. book, stressing persistent gaps and needs. Much recent attention has been given to sampling and detection, taxonomy and systematics, faunistic surveys, internal morphology, rearing techniques, biological and ecological aspects, biomolecular studies, and virus vectoring. Recommendations are made for integrating research and promoting broader dissemination of data among specialists and non-specialists.
