In this study, three red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) which died after traffic accidents were examined in terms of ectoparasites, in the province of Erzurum in January of 2009. 13 ticks and 74 fleas were collected from the foxes and taken to the laboratory in separate glasses containing 70% alcohol. Ticks were taken directly from 70% alcohol and have been identified under the stereo microscope. Fleas were cleared in 10% KOH solution during 4-13 days and washed in distilled water 3-4 times and were identified under the light microscope. Two tick species Ixodes hexagonus Leach, 1815 (5 males, 7 females) and Haemaphysalis numidiana Neumann, 1905 (1 male) and four flea species Pulex irritans Linne, 1758 (23 males, 37 females), Chaetopsylla globiceps Tacshenberg, 1880 (11 female), Ctenocephalides canis Curtis, 1826 (2 female) and Ctenocephalides felis felis Bouche, 1835 (1 female) were identified. In this study H. numidiana have been identified in the fox for the first time.
2009年1月，在埃尔祖鲁姆省，对3只死于交通事故的赤狐（赤狐属）进行了体外寄生虫检查。从狐狸身上采集了13只蜱虫和74只跳蚤，并分别放入装有70%酒精的玻璃容器中带回实验室。蜱虫直接从70%酒精中取出，在体视显微镜下进行鉴定。跳蚤在10%氢氧化钾溶液中浸泡4 - 13天，用蒸馏水冲洗3 - 4次，然后在光学显微镜下进行鉴定。鉴定出两种蜱虫，分别是1815年的六角硬蜱（5只雄性，7只雌性）和1905年的努氏血蜱（1只雄性），以及四种跳蚤，分别是1758年的致痒蚤（23只雄性，37只雌性）、1880年的球头鬃蚤（11只雌性）、1826年的犬栉首蚤（2只雌性）和1835年的猫栉首蚤指名亚种（1只雌性）。在本研究中，努氏血蜱首次在狐狸身上被鉴定出来。
