Abstract

Hyalomma asiaticum is a non-nidiculous three-host tick. Adults feed mainly on a relatively narrow range of artiodactyl animals, especially cattle, camels and sheep. They have also been reported from humans. In contrast, larvae and nymphs have a wide host range reaching up to 50 species, mainly consisting of small mammals, mostly burrowing rodents, leporids and hedgehogs.
