| seasonal activity of ixodid ticks on goats in northern greece. | ixodid ticks were collected at monthly intervals for 20 consecutive months from 25 goats of the local breed selected at random from a flock grazing permanently around a village in northern greece. three species of ixodid ticks were recovered, ixodes gibbosus, rhipicephalus bursa and dermacentor marginatus. i gibbosus was the most abundant and prevalent species. it was found on the animals from october to april, and its activity increased with lower mean temperatures and higher relative humiditie ... | 1995 | 7571251 |
| ticks of domestic animals in the macedonia region of greece. | a study was carried out on ticks of domestic animals in the macedonia region of greece. during 1983-1986, 11,620 tick specimens, belonging to 18 species and subspecies, were collected from cattle, sheep, goats and dogs, in 64 localities throughout macedonia. rhipicephalus bursa, the most common tick, and hyalomma marginatum marginatum occurred in all bioclimatic zones, as well as the two one-host ticks, boophilus annulatus and h. detritum scupense, which were present in fewer localities. r. tura ... | 1996 | 8792578 |
| cross-sectional survey of ticks (acari: ixodidae) in sheep from an area of the southern italian apennines. | a cross-sectional survey of ticks was conducted on 197 ovine farms with animals pasturing in an area (3971 km2) of the southern italian apennines. the farms were selected to be uniformly distributed throughout the study area using geographical information system (gis). ticks were collected from 309 (31.4%) out of the 985 sheep sampled, belonging to 92 (46.7%) out of the 197 farms included in the study. the following tick species were found (farm prevalence): dermacentor marginatus (37.6%), haema ... | 2004 | 15285146 |
| ticks, tick-borne rickettsiae, and coxiella burnetii in the greek island of cephalonia. | domestic animals are the hosts of several tick species and the reservoirs of some tick-borne pathogens; hence, they play an important role in the circulation of these arthropods and their pathogens in nature. they may act as vectors, but, also, as reservoirs of spotted fever group (sfg) rickettsiae, which are the causative agents of sfg rickettsioses. q fever is a worldwide zoonosis caused by coxiella burnetii (c. burnetii), which can be isolated from ticks. a total of 1,848 ticks (954 female, 8 ... | 2006 | 17114747 |
| ticks infesting domestic animals in northern greece. | the tick species infesting grazing animals in the countryside of 11 prefectures in northern greece were investigated during april-july and september-december of consecutive years 2003-2006. a total of 3,249 (1,952 males, 1,297 females) adult ticks were collected from goats, sheep, cattle and dogs. ticks were identified as ixodes ricinus (44.57%), ixodes gibbosus (4.09%), rhipicephalus bursa (19.14%), rhipicephalus sanguineus, rhipicephalus turanicus (5.79%), hyalomma marginatum marginatum (12.40 ... | 2008 | 18563592 |
| biogeography of tick-borne bhanja virus (bunyaviridae) in europe. | bhanja virus (bhav) is pathogenic for young domestic ruminants and also for humans, causing fever and affections of the central nervous system. this generally neglected arbovirus of the family bunyaviridae is transmitted by metastriate ticks of the genera haemaphysalis, dermacentor, hyalomma, rhipicephalus, boophilus, and amblyomma. geographic distribution of bhav covers southern and central asia, africa, and southern (partially also central) europe. comparative biogeographic study of eight know ... | 2010 | 20182535 |
| hard ticks (acari, ixodidae) of croatia. | the present paper is based on original and literature data. in croatia the first studies on the occurrence of ixodid species were made about 80 years ago. the number of tick species recorded in croatia considerably increased during the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s of the past century. a total of 21 species of hard tick belonging to 5 genera have been recorded in croatia. ixodes is the best represented genus, with seven species recorded. haemaphysalis is represented by six species, followed by rhipice ... | 2012 | 23372407 |
| species composition, distribution, ecological preference and host association of ticks in cyprus. | tick population and species depend on the effect of biotic and abiotic factors, especially vegetation, climate and host density; cyprus, due to the mild climate, favors the appearance and spread of tick-borne infections. our objective was to identify the tick species present in the island, to investigate their geographical distribution and their epidemiological implications. during a three-year study (2004-2006) we collected ticks from domestic and wild animals over the island of cyprus. data on ... | 2016 | 27822784 |
