Abstract

Objective To identify Rhipicephalus turanicus in Yining county, Xinjiang Autonomous Region based on morphological and molecular evidence. Methods In total, 324 ticks were collected off livestock in the border areas of Yining county, Xinjiang Autonomous Region. All ticks collected were initially screened according to morphological features, and then 6 ticks were selected by morphological differences, then the 16S rRNA and COⅠ were amplified by PCR and subsequently sequenced, and phylogenetically analyzed with GenBank sequences. Results Rhipicephalus turanicus was observed and analyzed for its morphological characteristics. A high percentage of A+T base composition in the two sequences was observed, variation on the 16S rRNA gene was significantly conservative than COⅠ gene. Conclusion Rhipicephalus turanicus were firstly reported by morphological, 16S rRNA and COⅠ gene sequencing analysis, and it present high biodiversity in Yining county, Xinjiang.
