Abstract EN
Ticks infesting rodents in Asir Province, which is about 3000 me-ter above sea level, were surveyed in Wadi Dalaghan and Wadi Bin Hachbal.
They were examined from September to December 2006, where ten local life baited traps were distributed for 3 days each mo-nth.
The rodents were Acomys c.
dimitatus (20), Meriones rex (19) and one Gerbillus cheesmani.
Fifty three nymphs were dropped off from the rodents in the laboratory 3 to 12 days post-trapping.
Forty eight nymphs were reared to adults for identification and 5 ones died.
The reared ticks were Rhipicephalus turanicus and R.
sanguine us.
The me-dical and veterinary importance was discussed.
