Abstract EN
A total of 215 sheep and 87 goats were carefully searched for ixodid ticks from January to December 2015 at different regions of the middle and south of Iraq.
The detached ticks count 1533 ticks from sheep with intensity of 8.4 and count 332 ticks from goats with intensity of 6.8.
Tick species recovered from sheep and their incidence rates were: Rhipicephalus turanicus (39 %), Hyalomma anatolicum (28 %), R.
(Boophilus) annulatus (11%), Hyalomma sp.
(9 %), H.
turanicum (6 %), H.
excavatum (6 %) and R.
leporis (1%) while the tick species recovered from goats and their incidence rates were: R.
turanicus (64 %), H.
anatolicum (24%), H.
turanicum (6 %), and Hyalomma sp.
(6 %).
The results were discussed with the pertinent literature.
