“…Each species seems restricted to a specified geographical zone, with particular genera of ticks reported to act as vectors for particular Theileria sp., such as Amblyomma as a vector for T. mutans and T. velifera ; Haemaphysalis as a vector for T. orientalis , T. uilenbergi , and T. luwenshuni ; Hyalomma as vector for T. annulata , T. lestoquardi , and T. separata ; and Rhipicephalus as a vector for T. parva , T. taurotragi , T. ovis , and T. lestoquardi [ 36 ]. The MENA region has suitable climates as well as favorable conditions for the expansion of ticks and associated TBDs [ 37 , 38 ] due to widespread livestock ranching, the import of animals from other geographical territories, the wildlife population’s abundance supporting ticks’ lifecycles, and climate change conditions [ 39 ]. However, studies on TBDs within the State of Qatar are still scarce, with only reports of Hyalomma dromedarii [ 40 ], Hyalomma impeltatum [ 40 ], and more recently Hyalomma aegyptium vectors [ 41 ].…”
