Analysis of spatial and seasonal variations of Haemaphysalis longicornis population based on field survey collected under different habitats and years
Entomological Research(2024)
摘要
AbstractTicks are vectors of disease‐causing pathogens and are found on domestic and wild animals; thus, they are also vectors of significant human diseases. For this reason, pre‐emptive measures to prevent tick‐borne diseases are necessary in the form of exploring their major habitats, population increase period, and factors affecting their population growth, all of which indicate the purpose of this study. In the study, a variation of Haemaphysalis longicornis, a major vector of fever‐causing conditions, was statistically analyzed to identify the spatial and climatic factors affecting the time‐dependent variations of its population. The survey occurred in different habitats (grassland, mixed forest, deciduous forest, and coniferous forest) in South Korea. In addition, we fitted a phenology model by using a probability function to find the peak occurrence time annually. As a result, the numbers of adults and nymphs were found to be related to temperature and relative humidity and their population peaked at the end of May in all habitats except deciduous forests. This study is expected to provide information on habitat types, times, and climate patterns that require attention to help control H. longicornis populations.
