Abstract

Ectoparasite infestation can transmit pathogens. They also cause economic losses and sometimes can cause mortality and reduce growth rates. Therefore, the objective of the present study was the determination of ectoparasite infestations on camels (C. dromedarius) in Sabzevar city, Iran. This survey was conducted from April 2017 to March 2018. A total of 75 camels were examined for ectoparasite infestation. All ectoparasites were collected in vials containing ethyl alcohol (70%) and were brought to the laboratory. The results showed that 25 camels (33.33%) were infested with hard ticks. There was not any infestation by other external parasites (mite, lice, flea, myias). The whole detected ticks were 130. The hard ticks on camels were identified as follows: Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum (37/69%), Hyalomma dromedarii (34/61%), Rhipicephalus bursa (27/69%), In conclusion, appropriate tick control programs in Sabzevar city would seem a prerequisite for progressing camel milk and meat production.

摘要

体外寄生虫的侵袭会传播病原体。它们还会造成经济损失，有时甚至会导致死亡和生长速度下降。因此，本研究的目的是确定伊朗萨布泽瓦尔市骆驼（Camelus dromedarius）的体外寄生虫感染情况。该调查于 2017 年 4 月至 2018 年 3 月进行。共检查了 75 匹骆驼是否存在体外寄生虫感染。所有的体外寄生虫都被收集在装有 70%乙醇的小瓶中，并带到实验室。结果表明，有 25 匹（33.33%）骆驼受到硬蜱的侵袭。没有其他外部寄生虫（螨虫、虱子、跳蚤、蝇蛆）感染的情况。总共检测到的蜱虫有 130 只。在骆驼身上发现的硬蜱被鉴定为：安纳托利亚钝缘蜱（Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum）（37/69%）、单形革蜱（Hyalomma dromedarii）（34/61%）、边缘革蜱（Rhipicephalus bursa）（27/69%）。总之，在萨布泽瓦尔市实施适当的蜱虫控制计划似乎是推进骆驼奶和肉生产的前提条件。
