| Özet |
| During our parasitological studies on ticks infesting humans, we noticed 127 ticks with abnormal morphology. Some of these specimens had local abnormalities including the absence of one or two legs, one porose area, one spiracle, while others had also general abnormalities such as asymmetric body, gynandromorphism, gigantism or caudal constriction. Most encountered tick species with abnormalities observed were Hyalomma marginatum (n = 113, 88.97 %), followed by Hyalomma excavatum (n = 3, 2.36 %) and Rhipicephalus turanicus (n = 3, 2.36 %). Atrophy or lack of the one adanal plate (n = 49, 38.58 %) was the most encountered local abnormalities. Other local abnormalities were atrophy or lack of one leg (n = 36, 28.35 %) and atrophy or lack one spiracle (n = 11, 8.66 %). The most encountered general abnormalities were asymmetry (n = 9, 7.08 %), constriction (n = 5, 3.93 %) and gynandromorphism (n = 4, 3.15 %), respectively. In the present study, morphological abnormalities in ticks collected on humans were investigated in detail for the first time and many forms of morphological abnormalities were reported for Turkey. |
