        The family of Ixodidae is one of the greatest tick families of domestic animals that includes 13 genera and 650 species in five subfamilies. The goal of this research is the assessment of the cattle and domestic buffalos’ contaminations development to differentiate the tick family from the quantitative aspect and also the determination of the found tick species diversity in Miandoab. In this study, conducted from the early spring 2016 to the late winter in 2017, 406 ticks were collected and identified from the total cattle and buffaloes studied; 187 ticks were collected and identified. From all cattle studied, Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum, with 179 numbers (44.09%), was identified as the most infesting agent, and Boophilus annulatus, with three numbers (0.74%), was identified as the least infecting agent. From the total buffaloes under studied, Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum, with 101 numbers (54.01%), was identified as the highest cause of infection, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus, with 21 numbers, (11.23%) was identified as the least infecting agent (P<0.05). In the current study, in terms of seasonal prevalence of hard tick infection, the highest level of infection was observed in spring and the lowest levels of infection were observed in winter (P<0.05). Maximum rates of hard ticks were observed in the groin and minimums were observed on the surface of the testicles (P<0.05). تفاصيل المقالة

        Ticks are the most important ectoparasites which inflict heavy economic losses to livestock and transmit viral, rickettsia, bacterial and protozoal diseases. Ixodidae family is one of the most great tick family of domestic animals. So far, 13 different kinds and 650 species in five subgroups have been reported. The aim of this research is to assess quantitatively the extent of cattle infestations to these different ticks and also to identify the diversity of the species found in Maragheh. In this survey, carried out throughout fall 2015 to the end of summer 2016, a total number of 328 ticks were collected and identified including 224 Hyalomma spp. (68.30%), Rhipicephalus spp. 98 (29.88%), Dermacentor spp. 3 (0.91%) and Boophilus spp. 3 (0.91%) as the minimum infestation rate. From seasonal infestation prevalence aspect, in spring, 168 ticks, in summer 89 ticks and in autumn and winter 45 and 26 ticks were respectively, found on the cattle. Maximum infestation of cattle in summer and minimum in winter were observed. The maximum rate of the found ticks was observed in groin and the minimum was observed in testicle surfaces. تفاصيل المقالة
