ABSTRACT
Amblyomma hebraeum (Koch, 1844), has been already reported from along the coast of South Africa, eastern Swaziland, southern Mozambique, eastern Botswana, and in southern and eastern regions of Zimbabwe. The aim of this study was to determine the ecto-parasites and the harmful arthropods of wildlife animals, collected from cages of Shiraz zoo in Fars province, southern Iran, in 2016. Accordingly, the Ticks collected from the white camels were identified as Amblyomma hebraeum. This species which was collected from white camel of Fars province, is reported for the first time from Iran. The presence of A. hebraeum poses a serious threat to the livestock industry in Iran and there is need to investigate the presence of this species in Iranian livestock.
