Abstract

The seasonal dynamics of adults of Hyalomma (Hyalommina) arabica Pegram, Hoogstraal & Wassef on goats and sheep, and of the immatures on an Acomys mouse, were studied in the Al-Sarawat mountain range of Makkah Province, Saudi Arabia, from December 1984 through November 1987. Adults and immatures of H. arabica were found on hosts in the fall, winter, and spring (September-May) with a peak in numbers in winter (December-February). During the summer, adults were rarely found on hosts. Populations of males on goats were highest in January and April but on sheep only in January. Adults of H. arabica were found more often on goats than on sheep, but the immature stages were found only on Acomys mice.

摘要

1984年12月至1987年11月，在沙特阿拉伯麦加省的阿斯瓦拉特山脉，对阿拉伯璃眼蜱（Hyalomma (Hyalommina) arabica）佩格拉姆、胡格斯塔尔和瓦塞夫的成虫在山羊和绵羊身上的季节性动态，以及未成熟蜱在刺巢鼠身上的季节性动态进行了研究。秋季、冬季和春季（9月至次年5月）在宿主身上发现了阿拉伯璃眼蜱的成虫和未成熟蜱，数量高峰出现在冬季（12月至次年2月）。夏季，很少在宿主身上发现成虫。山羊身上雄性蜱的数量在1月和4月最高，但绵羊身上仅在1月最高。阿拉伯璃眼蜱的成虫在山羊身上比在绵羊身上更常见，但未成熟阶段仅在刺巢鼠身上发现。
