Abstract EN
Dynamics of boophilus tick was investigated at behaira district.
a total number of 86 out of 839 cattle (10.25%) were infected with boophilus spp.
the prevalence of boophilus spp infection predominated in summer season (21.33%) followed by autumn (10.78%) and last spring (6.34%) and the lowest burden was in winter.
concerning the locality, el-Dalangat was representing the highest locality infected with tick vector (17.39%) and according to age, the animals less than one year was the lowest one infected with tick (5.17%) then animals which were aged 1-3 years (9.8%) and animals more than 3 years (10.75%).the neck and dewlap representing the highest predilection seats of boophilus spp.
(81.39%) in cattle and the lowest one was udder (2.94%).
hemolymph and salivary gland samples of 56 boophilus spp were extracted, stained by giemsa and microscopically inspected under oil immersion lens.
the total infection of hemolymph with ookinete was 28.57% that increased in summer season (32.14%).
the total infection rate was 21.43% and increased in summer (25%) and no infection was recorded in winter.
