TICKS - BROWN DOG TICK
(Rhicephalus sanguineues)
INTRODUCTION
Ticks are small arachnids. They are ectoparasites (external parasites) which live by eating the blood (hematophagy) of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Ticks have bodies which are divided into two sections. The front section, which contains the head and mouth-parts, is called the capitulum or gnathosoma. The rear section, which contains the legs, digestive tract and reproductive organs, is called the idiosoma. They are incapable of flying or jumping. To find a host, many tick species grasp a blade of grass or leaf with their rear legs and hold the first pair of legs outstretched in a position known as "questing". When a host brushes past, they grasp the host with the front legs and climb aboard.
There are two types of ticks; the Ixodidae, also known as hard ticks because they have a hard outer surface plate called a shield or scutum, and the Argasidae, also known as soft ticks because they lack a scutum. There are at least 74 tick species in Australia, but only three have significant affects on domestic animals. These are Rhicephalus sanguineues, Haemaphysalis longicornis and Ixodes holocyclus.
Ticks survive better in ecosystems with warm, humid climates, such as gullies, wet forests and rainforest edges. This is because they require high air
