Survey finds significant tick infestation in young dogs, suggesting the need for targeted control measures.
(7.14%). Examining the age variables showed that there is a significant difference (p≤0.05) in the frequency of tick infestation in different age groups, with 44.23% of the total isolated ticks belonging to dogs aged 1-3 years. Such research, which deals with the identification and investigation of species diversity and the distribution of different species of ticks in a specific geographical area, will lead to better and more accurate decisions by the medical and veterinary professionals to control and prevent the spread of tick-borne diseases. Similar studies should be conducted in other regions of Iran to determine the level of tick infestation in dogs throughout Iran and the results of these studies can be used in strategic tick control programs.
