A survey of ixodid ticks was carried on in 1977 to determine the crimean haemorrhagic fever (CHF) virus activity in Jammu & Kashmir state, India. In all, 412 immatures and 3258 adults belonging to 7 genera and 16 species of ticks were collected as ectoparasites of small and large mammals. These included one species each of the genera Boophilus, Dermacentor and Nosomma, 2 species of Rhipicephalus, 3 species of Ixodes and 4 species each of Haemaphysalis and Hyalomma. Haem. bispinosa was the predominant species followed by B. microplus, Haem. montgomeryi, R. haemaphysaloides and Hyal. m. isaaci. The four Hyalomma species viz., Hyal. a. anatolicum (incriminated as the vector of CHF virus), Hyal. detritum, Hyal. dromedarii and Hyal. m. isaaci were found parasitizing goat, sheep, camel and cattle and were collected in the districts of Jammu, Rajouri, Poonch and Udhampur. Four species viz., Haem. intermedia, Hyal. detritum, Hyal. dromedarii and Hyal. m. isaaci are new records for the state. A total of 138 pools comprising eight species under six genera of ticks were processed for isolating the virus. CHF virus was not isolated. The role of ixodid ticks, particularly those of the genus Hyalomma in the dissemination of CHF virus is highlighted.
1977年开展了一项硬蜱调查，以确定印度查谟和克什米尔邦的克里米亚出血热（CHF）病毒活性。总共收集了412只未成熟蜱和3258只成年蜱，它们属于7个属、16个蜱种，是小型和大型哺乳动物的体外寄生虫。其中包括璃眼蜱属、革蜱属和扇头蜱属各1个物种，硬蜱属2个物种，硬蜱属3个物种，血蜱属和璃眼蜱属各4个物种。双棘血蜱是优势种，其次是微小牛蜱、蒙氏血蜱、血红扇头蜱和印度璃眼蜱。4种璃眼蜱，即安纳托利亚璃眼蜱（被认为是CHF病毒的传播媒介）、边缘璃眼蜱、单峰驼璃眼蜱和印度璃眼蜱，被发现寄生于山羊、绵羊、骆驼和牛身上，并在查谟、拉焦里、蓬奇和乌达姆布尔等地区采集到。4个物种，即中间血蜱、边缘璃眼蜱、单峰驼璃眼蜱和印度璃眼蜱，是该邦的新记录。总共对138组蜱进行了处理，这些蜱属于6个属的8个物种，用于分离病毒。未分离到CHF病毒。强调了硬蜱，特别是璃眼蜱属在克里米亚出血热病毒传播中的作用。
