A study was conducted to identify the species of ticks found on camels (Camelus dromedarius) and their seasonal population dynamics in Arar city. Collection and identification of the ticks were undertaken at 1 year from January 2006 to December 2006. On each occasion, all the visible adult ticks were collected from the body of each camels and the ground. The most abundant species of ticks on the camels at the study area were Hyalomma (96%), Amblyomma (4.0%). The average tick load per camel was higher during rainy months (more than 30 ticks) than during dry months (less than 11 ticks). The study 303 concluded that any strategy intended to mitigate problems of tick infestation of camels in this area should take into account the identified tick species and their seasonal abundance.
