Abstract

A cross sectional study aimed to identify available tick species, determine the distribution and assess the risk factors for infestation was conducted from March to May 2017 in Galkaio District, central Somalia. Adult ticks were collected from 384 randomly selected camels and identified to species level. Stereomicroscopic investigation were employed. A total of 576 adult tick species were collected from different body parts. The study revealed that there was high tick infestation in the study area with an overall prevalence of 371 (97%). Two tick species from one genera were identified Hyalommadromedarii and Hyalommatrancatum. Among the species identified in the study area Hyalommadromedarii was the most abundant (56.8%) followed by Hyalommatrancatum (43.2%). In the present study, the prevalence of all tick species was higher in female animals than male animals but statistically insignificant (p>0.05).
