Abstract

Ticks and tick-borne diseases have always been a problem for animals and humans. This study aimed at the effect of risk factors based on univariable analysis affecting the number of ticks parasitized on domestic dogs. This research began in April and ended in July 2019. Most ticks recognized based on morphology were belonged to Rhipicephalus sanguineus (45.76%) followed by Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (32.85%), Hyalomma dromedarii (10.15%), Haemaphysalis spp. (7.01%), Hyalomma anatolicum (4.24%) respectively. Through the questionnaire, answers to various risk factors associated with tick infestation were discussed. It was revealed in the questionnaire results that most of the risk factors were recorded as non-significant (p>0.05) except tick infestation on the host animal.
The paper is extracted from the first author's M.Phil Thesis.
