The deer park at Downley is one of many medieval parks known from the county of Sussex (UK), 8km north of Chichester. The park belonged to the Earls of Arundel and there is evidence of its occasional use by high-status figures, such as King Henry VIII. The park perimeter measures 6.6km and covers an area of 261.7ha. During the first season of excavation in 2014 the presence of a substantial lodge building was proven within the pale, the features associated with the lodge contained various archaeological and environmental remains. This paper focuses on the study of zooarchaeological materials recovered from the 16 trenches opened in 2014. All faunal remains were studied, revealing domestic animals such as cattle and sheep, as well as wild animals such as deer and boar. Fallow deer is the most frequent species showing a very complete body part representation, suggesting it was hunted and processed locally. Further work is carried out looking at body part representation, which is particularly important when looking at the ritualised dismemberment of hunted animals. In any hunting milieu dogs/hounds are prevalent, and are represented by some anatomical elements, but also by considerable evidence of gnawing marks on bones that were clearly humanly processed before being fed to the animals.

This study was conducted on 790 stool samples from infants and young children up to ten years of age, suffering from acute diarrhea who attended Kirkuk Pediatric Hospital, from the beginning of August 1999 of July 2000. The animal study was carried on 160 lambs, 130 calves and 110 kids suffering from diarrhea in private veterinary clinics in Al-Tameem province.  The rate of acute cryptosporidiosis was (10%). There was no significant difference between the two sexes . It was higher in winter and spring than summer and autumn months .  The infection rate was higher among children in contact with poultry than those in contact with cattle and sheep and was lowest among those not in contacts with animals.  The distribution of cryptosporidiosis among domestic animals was as follows: in lambs, calves and kids the infection rates were 20%, 19.2% and 23.6% respectively.

Abstract Rickettsia and Anaplasma are bacteria that can be transmitted by hematophagous arthropods such as ticks infesting animals in close proximity to humans. The main objective of the present study was to investigate abundance of common tick species infesting domestic animals and presence of Rickettsia and Anaplasma in tick populations. Adult ticks were collected from domestic animals in rural areas and screened by molecular detection of bacterial DNA for these two genera of bacteria. A total of 1,778 adult ixodid tick specimens were collected from 200 cattle, 200 buffaloes, 200 goats, and 40 dogs. The collection consisted of four species of ixodid ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini) (83.8%), Hyalomma kumari (Sharif) (7.1%), Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille) (6.4%), and Dermacentor auratus (Supino) (2.7%) infesting the domestic animals. The prevalence of all the collected tick species was highest in the month of October. Anaplasma spp. was the most frequently identified bacteria (3.3%) in tested ticks. Of 17 positive tick pools for Anaplasma spp., 14 pools were from ticks infesting cattle, 2 pools of ticks collected from buffalo, and the remaining pool were ticks infesting a goat at the time of collection. Although 1.6% tick pools of R. microplus collected from cattle tested positive for Rickettsia spp., present investigation provides evidence of the most prevalent ixodid ticks infesting domestic animals and the presence of obligate intracellular bacteria, Rickettsia and Anaplasma, in these ticks collected in the Gorakhpur division of Northern India.

Typical Habitat

During the 2018–2019 years, 2884 ticks were collected from five species of animals, including pets (dogs and cats), cattle (cows and horses) and wildlife (wild boar) in Khmelnytsky, Chernivtsi and Vinnytsia regions. Ixodid ticks were identified as: D. reticulatus (2370; 82.2 % of all collected ticks), I. ricinus 510 (17.7 %) and 4 of I. hexagonus (0.1 %) from cats. Adult D. reticulatus (77 %) and I. ricinus (23 %) were detected in dogs. Ixodid ticks collected from horses were D. reticulatus (95 %) and I. ricinus (5 %), and from cows – D. reticulatus (93 %) and I. ricinus (7 %). I. ricinus was the predominant tick collected from cats (58 %). 100 % of D. reticulatus was collected from wild boars. Most ticks were collected during the spring tick activity between March and May. However, D. reticulatus was found on animals every month, including the winter. D. reticulatus males accounted for the overwhelming majority of ticks collected in winter (68 % for dogs, 84 % for wild boars). In all other seasons D. reticulatus females prevailed – 66 % in dogs, 77 % in horses and 71 % in cattle, in all areas. In addition, 4 females of I. hexagonus were removed from the cat in June. The average number of ticks per animal was about three ticks among dogs, two in cats, fourteen in cattle, seven in horses and seven in wild boars. Particularly high amount of D. reticulatus was recorded on cattle and horses in the spring. The relatively high amount of I. ricinus was observed in cats in the spring months. To evaluate the natural biocenoses of the three ticks species in the study areas, the ticks were collected using a flag in urban parks and rural areas. Two types of ticks were found in open areas. The density of adult D. reticulatus ticks in the open areas was relatively high, above 20 mites/1000 m2 in most places. The density of adult ticks of I. ricinus was significantly lower in the typical habitat (forests), within 3 mites/1000 m2, several times lower than the density of D. reticulatus in the typical habitat. Thus, in the western regions of Ukraine, two species of I. ricinus and D. reticulatus mites are widespread in natural biocenoses, as well as in farm and domestic animals, D. reticulatus is the dominant species. This type of tick is active throughout the year, so constant preventive treatment of animals is required to prevent infection with tick-borne diseases.
