In 2016 spring and autumn migration seasons, 7,992 birds belonging to 83 species, 51 genera, 34 families, and 12 orders were examined for tick (Acari: Ixodidae) infestation in the Kızılırmak Delta, Samsun, Turkey. A total of 1,229 (649 larvae, 536 nymphs, 40 females, 4 males) ticks were collected from 349 (4.36%) birds belonging to 33 (39.75%) species within 16 families in the order Passeriformes. Nine tick species were identified belonging to the family Ixodidae, namely Haemaphysalis concinna Koch, Haemaphysalis punctata Canestrini & Fanzago, Haemaphysalis sulcata Canestrini & Fanzago, Hyalomma marginatum gr., Ixodes eldaricus Djaparidze, Ixodes festai Tonelli-Rondelli, Ixodes frontalis (Panzer), Ixodes redikorzevi Olenev, and Ixodes ricinus (L.). The present study also reports 78 different avian (resident, migratory or partially migratory) hosts for documented tick species; 63 (80.76%) of them were new tick-host records for Turkey. In addition, the presence of I. eldaricus and I. festai ticks were documented in Turkey for the first time.
在 2016 年的春秋迁徙季节，在土耳其萨姆松的基齐尔达勒克三角洲，检查了属于 83 种、51 属、34 科和 12 目的 7992 只鸟类，以检查蜱（蛛形纲：硬蜱科）的寄生情况。从 349 只（占 4.36%）属于 16 科 33 种（占 39.75%）的鸟类中，共采集到 1229 只（649 只幼虫、536 只若虫、40 只雌蜱、4 只雄蜱）蜱。从属于鳞翅目目顺序的 16 科中，确定了 9 种蜱，属于硬蜱科，即血红扇头蜱 Koch、血红扇头蜱 Canestrini & Fanzago、血红扇头蜱 Canestrini & Fanzago、边缘马蝇 gr、伊氏栉缘蜱 Djaparidze、伊氏栉缘蜱 Tonelli-Rondelli、伊氏栉缘蜱 Panzer、伊氏栉缘蜱 Olenev 和硬蜱（L.）。本研究还报告了 78 种不同的鸟类（留鸟、候鸟或部分候鸟）作为有记录的蜱种的宿主；其中 63 种（80.76%）是土耳其新的蜱宿主记录。此外，还首次在土耳其发现了伊氏栉缘蜱和伊氏栉缘蜱。
