New Teratological Tick Specimens (Acari: Ixodidae) From Turkey

Hayvanlar üzerinde parazit yaşam süren kene türleri hakkındaki araştırmalarımız sırasında, kuş ve sığır üzerinden Ixodes frontalis (Panzer) ve Rhipicephalus annulatus (Say) türlerine ait iki teratolojik örnek toplanmıştır. Bu örneklerin idiozomalarının arka kısımda kısmen ikiye ayrılmış olduğu ve her iki örneğinde iki anal açıklığa sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Böyle bir teratolojik bozukluk I. frontalis ve R. annulatus türü kenelerde ilk defa belirlenmiştir

Türkiye’den Yeni Teratolojik Kene (Acari: Ixodidae) Örnekleri

During our survey on ticks parasitizing animals, two teratological tick specimens belonging to Ixodes frontalis (Panzer) and Rhipicephalus annulatus (Say) were collected from a bird and cattle, respectively. These samples exhibited unique morphological anomalies, including partial twinning of the posterior region of the idiosoma with two anal openings. To our knowledge, such teratological changes in I. frontalis and R. annulatus ticks have been reported for the first time
