“…Overall, H. anatolicum was the most abundant tick species (46.27%) of those that were found in this study, which agrees with previous studies that were performed in Pakistan (Rehman, Nijhof, et al., 2017; Kasi et al., 2020) and bordering countries such as Iran (38.83%) (Biglari et al., 2018), India (68.38%) (Jadhao et al., 2020) and Afghanistan (73.9%) (Amiri et al., 2021). The abundance that led to the collection of a large number of H. anatolicum adults in this study clearly supports the hypothesis that they have a high level of reproduction in Balochistan.…”

Hard ticks (Ixodidae: Acari) are haematophagous ectoparasites of vertebrates (e.g. mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians) and transmit diverse viral, bacterial and protozoan pathogens to their hosts (Dantas-Torres, 2015). The transmission of tick-borne diseases to humans (i.e. zoonosis) is one of the world's most significant public health issues. In horses, ticks spread several infectious diseases (Dantas-Torres, 2015; Karim et al., 2017) such as papulonodular dermatoses, lyme disease and viral encephalitis, which have serious detrimental consequences (Conway et al., 2014; Divers et al., 2018). They can also cause parasite-induced abortion (Walker et al., 2002). Several tick species require more than one vertebrate host for the completion of immature and mature developmental stages in their life cycles. At the adult stage, ticks exhibit host-specific preference (McCoy et al., 2013), which can be influenced by its biological parameters such as parasitic phase, reproductive performance (Amaral et al., 2012) and environmental variables (biotic and abiotic) such as seasonality and temporal distribution (MacDonald et al., 2019). In such conditions, seasonal variation that causes changes in temperature, types of vegetation and availability of hosts may influence the survival, reproduction rate and host-finding behaviour of different tick species (Keirans et al., 1996). All these factors have been shown ultimately to influence the probability that ticks will transmit pathogenic agents (Nava & Guglielmone, 2013; Alonso-Carné et al., 2016). The current projections of climate change that will be caused due to anthropogenic changes suggest that these zoonotic problems may be intensified and different regions of the world may become

Tick infestation in domestic animals is one of the serious health problems throughout the globe, especially in tropical countries. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and diversity of ixodid tick fauna of domestic animals from all 13 districts of Andhra Pradesh state, India. The study was conducted from May 2019 to March 2020. A total of 870 cattle, 602 buffaloes, 736 sheep, 754 goats, and 492 dogs were examined and out of which 717 (82.41%), 441 (73.26%), 592 (80.43%), 604 (80.11%), and 382 (77.64%) cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, and dogs, respectively were infested with ixodid ticks with an overall prevalence rate of 79.21% (2736/3454). The most prevalent ixodid tick species is Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (54.28%), followed by Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus (13.23%), Hyalomma marginatum (10.25%), Hyalomma anatolicum (9.23%), Rhipicephalus sanguineus (9.18%), Haemaphysalis bispinosa (2.03%), Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides (1.70%) and Amblyomma integrum (0.10%). The high prevalence of tick infestation in the current study alarms the field veterinarians to establish an effective preventive measure against ticks and tick-borne diseases in domestic animals of Andhra Pradesh state, India.

INTRODUCTIONTicks are obligatory blood suckers and require animal hosts for survival and propagation [1]. Among all the ectoparasites of mammals, birds, and reptiles, ticks are considered the most harmful blood-sucking external parasites. Ticks rank first as arthropod vectors of pathogens in domestic animals [2]. Ticks are distributed throughout the world particularly the tropical and sub-tropical regions including India. Nearly 80% of the world's cattle population is at risk of infection with ticks and tick-borne diseases (TTBDs) [3]. The cost of control of TTBDs in the dairy sector of India has been estimated at $ 498.7 million annually [4]. The mild temperate climate and environmental conditions of the mid-hill zone are favorable for the survival and propagation of ticks.
