Extract

Galuzo (1941) in his ecological studies of the tick fauna in Kazakh S.S.R. states that the nymph of Hyalomma detritum, Schulze, overwinters on the host, that he is of the opinion that H. savignyi, Gerv., hibernates in the adult stage away from the host (in animal quarters or houses) and that he found hibernating nymphs of H. marginatum, Koch, in grass meadows.

In the course of field work carried out in Palestine during the winter 1945–16 only a few adult male and female ticks (some gorged) were found in the Jordan Valley and the Negeb, and none in the more temperate parts of the country.
