is one of the most medically important carriers of various pathogens. Although is an important vector, only basic ecological and biological information has been obtained, primarily focusing on its abundance and distribution. This study determined the most active time and meteorological conditions for the diel activity of . The diel activity pattern of was the highest between 10:00 and 14:00, and the lowest between 22:00 and 02:00. The major activity temperature of was between 25 °C and 40 °C, with the highest activity at 35 °C. The relative humidity was between 30% and 70% during the active period. Temperature had the highest correlation with diel activity (R = 0.679), followed by humidity (R = -0.649) and light intensity (R = 0.572). Our results provide basic information for the development of tick-borne disease vector control programs and tick surveillance.
是多种病原体最重要的医学传播媒介之一。尽管是一种重要的病媒，但目前仅获得了基本的生态和生物学信息，主要集中在其数量和分布方面。本研究确定了的昼夜活动最活跃时间和气象条件。的昼夜活动模式在10:00至14:00之间最高，在22:00至02:00之间最低。的主要活动温度在25°C至40°C之间，在35°C时活动最为活跃。活动期间相对湿度在30%至70%之间。温度与昼夜活动的相关性最高（R = 0.679），其次是湿度（R = -0.649）和光照强度（R = 0.572）。我们的研究结果为蜱传疾病病媒控制计划的制定和蜱监测提供了基础信息。
