Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study  was carried out on 1200 heads of Awassi sheep\nin Hama governorate, 600 heads of them from governmental sector, from which 162\nsamples of ticks were collected. Also, 600 heads from private sector, from\nwhich 279 samples of ticks were collected. Samples collecting lasted one year\n(2012), ticks samples were preserved in ethyl (70%) until  laboratory testing time. Sheep were selected randomly and\nchecked up clinically in order to know ticks\ninfection prevalence\nand determine its genus, species, the effect of season, animal age  and the places of parasitism on animal body.\nTicks were determined through morphological descriptions by using microscope\naccording to followed standard definition keys. Results\nshowed that the average ticks infection \nprevalence in Awassi sheep in the governmental and private sector for\nwhole the year amounted 36.74%  (27% in\ngovernmental sector and 46.5% in private sector). It was noticed that there was\na significant difference (p<0.01) between ticks infection ratios and the\nyear season where the  most of infections\nin spring and summer and the less infections in autumn and winter. Also, it was\nnoticed a  significant difference\n(p<0.01) in infection ratios according to animals ages where the highest of\ninfection ratio was in age group between (2-4) years old which amounted in the\ntwo sectors governmental and private 22.97%, and 51.73% respectively, while the\nless infection ratio was in age group smaller than one year which amounted\n17.7% and 35.52% for governmental and private sector respectively.  Eight species of ticks were determined and\nisolated in Awassi sheep in study area, which followed to two genus at\nsignificant difference (p<0.01) of prevalence ratios that  were Hyalamma  spp<\/em> in high rate amounted  2.5% of total isolations, where (5) species\nof Hyalamma spp<\/em>  were diagnosed\nthat called H. anatolicum<\/em> \nexcavatum at total rate of (48.07%), H. truncatum<\/em> (22.22%), H.\nimpeltatum<\/em> (14.5%), H. marginatum \nmarginatum<\/em>(9.07%) and H. lusitanicum<\/em> (4.08%). Also three\ntypes of Rhipicephalus<\/em> genus were \ndiagnoses that called: Rh. Turanicus<\/em>  (1.58%), Rh . camicasi <\/em>and Rh.\nSangaineus<\/em>  with the same rate (0.45%\n) of total isolations. This study recommended to use ticks pesticide\nperiodically specially seasons of numerously ticks prevalence with the\nnecessity to follow  an existence of resistance\nin some isolated species against pesticides and medicines used for controlling .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
