Prevalence and Identification of Livestock Tick by Sex Ratio and Host in Tehran Province. [PDF]
Vet Med SciThis study identified tick species infesting livestock and poultry in Tehran Province, revealing a female‐biased sex ratio and sheep as the most infested hosts. Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato was the dominant species. These findings underscore the need for host‐targeted tick control to mitigate disease transmission and economic losses.
