abstract = "The present study was conducted in 30 cattle herd from the territory of Banat (Vojvodina) in
the period of March to October 2019, during the grazing season was to established tick fauna
in that arae. Ticks were collected from cattle and from pastures where they were grazed. The
tick species and sex/gender were identified by morphometric characteristics. Relative
abundance analysis revealed that the I. ricinus was absolutely dominant species found in
71.22%, followed by Haemaphysalis punctata (18.22%), Dermacentor marginatus (11.72%),
Rhipicephalus sanguineus (3.22%) and Rhipicephalus bursa (2.01%). On the pasture,
however, the most common species was H. punctata, followed by I. ricinus, D. marginatus, R.
sanguineus and R.bursa. Out of the total number of ticks collected, 53.65% were females and
46.35% were males. The sex ratio showed a higher number of females in four species (Ixodes
ricinus, Haemaphysalis punctata, Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Dermacentor marginatus),
while higher number of males were detected in Rhipicephalus bursa. The population dynamics
of recorded tick species showed two annual maxima, in spring (April-May) and in autumn
(September-October). The considerable interchange between spring and autumn tick
populations can be attributed mainly to environmental conditions.",
