Abstract
During our survey on ticks
parasitizing animals, two teratological tick specimens belonging to Ixodes frontalis (Panzer) and Rhipicephalus annulatus (Say) were
collected from a bird and cattle, respectively. These samples exhibited unique
morphological anomalies, including partial twinning of the posterior region of
the idiosoma with two anal openings. To our knowledge, such teratological
changes in I. frontalis and R. annulatus ticks have been reported
for the first time.

Abstract
Hayvanlar üzerinde parazit yaşam süren kene türleri hakkındaki
araştırmalarımız sırasında, kuş ve sığır üzerinden Ixodes
frontalis (Panzer) ve Rhipicephalus annulatus (Say) türlerine
ait iki teratolojik örnek toplanmıştır. Bu örneklerin idiozomalarının arka
kısımda kısmen ikiye ayrılmış olduğu ve her iki örneğinde iki anal açıklığa
sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Böyle bir teratolojik bozukluk I. frontalis ve R. annulatus türü kenelerde ilk defa belirlenmiştir.
