英文摘要 | Ticks are among the most important vectors for medical and veterinary importance in African countries, representing thus an obstacle for development and improvement of livestock production. The central part of Burkina Faso is an arid region which has a low diversity of tick species and in which Rhipicephalus microplus has been absent. This study aimed to examine ticks infesting cattle within this region, focusing on the peripheral area of Ouagadougou. Tick sampling was undertaken monthly on 30 selected cattle in the state breeding station of Loumbila, from June 2017 to February 2018. Morphological identification was carried out based on previous established keys and catalogue. A total of 1,076 ticks belonging to four genera and seven species were collected. Amblyomma variegatum (50.5%) was the most abundant species followed by Hyalomma rufipes (27.4%), Hyalomma truncatum (13.7%), Rhipicephalus decoloratus (4.5%), Hyalomma impressum (2.4%), Rhipicephalus microplus (1.5%), and Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato (0.1%). The results suggested a decrease of A. variegatum and Hyalomma spp. load compared to data collected in 1996 from the same study area. Presence of R. microplus and R. decoloratus has been highlighted in the studied area for the first time. This finding highlights the relevance of regular investigations on tick species infesting livestock utilizing collaboration with different stakeholders. |
