This study reports tick species removed from 91 patients who complained of tick bite between May and August 2009 in the Emergency Service of Bitlis State Hospital located in Eastern Anatolian region of Turkey. Ticks were detached from the patients in Emergency service and stored in tubes containing 70% ethanol. Ticks were diagnosed under a stereo microscope according to the morphological features. As a result of the investigation, nine tick species were identified as follows: Rhipicephalus bursa (18/91), Dermacentor marginatus (15/91), Hyalomma anatolicum (12/91), Hyalomma aegyptium (9/91), Haemaphysalis sulcata (9/91), Hyalomma marginatum (6/91), Hyalomma excavatum (6/91), Rhipicephalus sanguineus group (6/91), Haemaphysalis spp. (3/91) and Hyalomma rufipes (1/91). In addition to this two Rhipicephalus sp. nymhs and four Hyalomma sp. nymhs were identified. These results provide first data for tick species infesting humans in Bitlis province. Further studies are required to determine which tick species are infesting humans and domestic-wild animals in Turkey, and also throughout the world.
