Özet
Dermacentor marginatus is a medically important tick species due to its preference humans and domestic animals as hosts and its vectorial competence, yet it remains understudied in many regions. This study aimed to examine the population structure and demographic history of D. marginatus using the cox1 and ITS2 genes, focusing on populations from Central and Northeast Anatolia—two regions on either side of the Anatolian Diagonal, a natural biogeographical barrier. A total of 361 host-seeking adult D. marginatus ticks from 31 sampling sites were analyzed, revealing 131 haplotypes for cox1 and 104 genotypes for ITS2. Neutrality tests and mismatch distribution patterns rejected the null hypothesis of the neutral theory, indicating that the population of D. marginatus in Anatolia has undergone a recent demographic expansion. Significant genetic differentiation and population structuring were observed …
