Abstract

In the present study, we collected a small number of tick specimens on some wild animals and humans in eleven different regions of Turkey, between November 2017 and October 2018. One hundred-eighty tick specimens were collected from 19 wild host animals (belonging to 10 different species) and humans. Ticks were identified as Dermacentor marginatus (4 nymphs), Hyalomma sp. (21 nymphs, 2 larvae), Hyalomma aegyptium (1 female), Haemaphysalis inermis (17 males, 25 females), Ixodes redikorzevi (1 female, 48 nymphs), Ixodes ricinus (7 males, 5 females, 1 nymph), Ixodes laguri (1 nymph), Rhipicephalus bursa (6 nymphs, 3 larvae), and Rhipicephalus turanicus (13 males, 25 females). To the best of our knowledge, Ixodes redikorzevi ticks were reported in the Marmara region, for the first time. Also, six new tick-host associations for Turkey were reported in the present study for the first time.
