Background and Objectives
Ticks play a significant role as a vector of pathogens of domestic animals and are considered as the main vector for transmission of various diseases such as Tayloriosis, Babesiosis, Recurrent fever and CCHF to human being.

From each village two animal husbandries and from each animal husbandry 3-4 animal (15 sheep in all seasons) and for camel, from 5 villages two animal husbandries and from each animal husbandry 5 animal (50 camel in each season) were selected and tested for tick infestation. Ticks were identified using valid identification keys.
