Article Synopsis
- Male Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum ticks were exposed to 10 Gy of gamma radiation, and female ticks were divided into three feeding groups to assess reproductive outcomes.
- The study revealed that females mating with irradiated males had a significantly shorter egg-laying period (22.77 days) compared to those with normal males, indicating that irradiated males were less competitive in mating.
- Additionally, the number of larvae produced was highest in females fed by normal males, with an average of 2519.30 larvae, highlighting the negative impact of irradiated males on female reproductive success.
