The dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus Latreille, 1806 (Acari: Ixodidae), is a public health problem since it is widely distributed in Italy and because of its role in the transmission of many pathogens to man and dog which is its preferred host. This review deals with the main aspects of the biology and ecology of Rh. sanguineus habitat, developmental time, distribution and seasonality, behaviour and vector competence. Moreover, the preminent role of Rh, sanguineus in the transmission of boutonneuse fever is discussed.
犬蜱，血红扇头蜱（Rhipicephalus sanguineus Latreille，1806年）（蜱螨亚纲：硬蜱科），是一个公共卫生问题，因为它在意大利广泛分布，并且由于它在将许多病原体传播给人类和狗（其首选宿主）方面所起的作用。本综述涉及血红扇头蜱的生物学和生态学的主要方面，包括其栖息地、发育时间、分布和季节性、行为以及传播媒介能力。此外，还讨论了血红扇头蜱在纽扣热传播中的突出作用。
