BACKGROUND
We aimed to focus on the ixodid ticks parasitizing wild mammals and reptiles from Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, Western Ghat, southern India.
METHODS
The taxonomic identification of ticks collected from wild mammals and reptiles was performed based on the morphology of adults.
RESULTS
We revealed eight species of ticks including, , () , () , () , () , () , and s.l. collected from nine species of wild mammals while four tick species , , and parasitizing on four species of reptiles. The highest host richness was shown by () and parasitizing six and five different host species, respectively. Reports of () on sambar deer, and on python as well as on Indian rat snake are the new host records from this region.
CONCLUSION
Eight species of ticks parasitizing on nine species of wild mammals and four species of parasitizing on four species of reptiles were identified. The highest host richness was shown by (.) and as the vector of KFD was also identified in this study.
背景
我们旨在关注寄生于印度南部西高止山脉瓦亚纳德野生动物保护区野生哺乳动物和爬行动物身上的硬蜱。
方法
根据成虫形态对从野生哺乳动物和爬行动物身上采集的蜱进行分类鉴定。
结果
我们发现了八种蜱，包括从九种野生哺乳动物身上采集到的 、 （ ）、 （ ）、 （ ）、 （ ）、 以及 近缘种，同时在四种爬行动物身上发现了四种蜱，分别是 、 、 和 。 （ ）和 分别寄生于六种和五种不同宿主物种，显示出最高的宿主丰富度。关于水鹿身上的 （ ）、蟒蛇身上的 和 以及印度鼠蛇身上的 的报道是该地区新的宿主记录。
结论
鉴定出八种寄生于九种野生哺乳动物身上的蜱以及四种寄生于四种爬行动物身上的蜱。 （.）显示出最高的宿主丰富度，并且在本研究中还鉴定出作为基孔肯雅热病毒载体的 。
