Abstract

Season dynamics of tick populations in a meso-supramediterraneum ecosystem in Ciudad Real (Spain) during 2007 is presented. 2226 ixodides recollected monthly from vegetation and animals (deer, road deer, wild pig, rabbit and partridge) were identified. Six tick species were identified: 1807 Hyalomma lusitanicum (81,2%), 187 Rhipicephalus pusillus (8,4%), 136 Rhipicephalus bursa (6,1%), 44 Dermacentor marginatus (2%), 45 Haemaphysalis hispanica (2,1%) and 4 Ixodes ricinus (0,2%). Season dynamics varied according to tick species. The most abundant tick, H. lusitanicum, was present during the all sampling period, with a highest activity from May to September. Other species (R. pusillus, R. bursa) were more abundant in hot seasons warm, whereas D. marginatus was just detected during tall and winter. The data from this study establish the firs integral analysis on presence and activity of ixodides in a typical mesomediterranean climate and are the first step to strategic control measures.
