Popis: Tick samples were collected from a wild goat (Capra aegagrus) found in Uzundere province of Erzurum, Turkey. Species identification performed based on morphological criteria, and 3 males and 1 female tick were identified as Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) kohlsi. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used to view the characteristic morphologic features of the ticks. Although previous studies report the presence of R. kohlsi in Turkey and in the world, this study represents the first SEM images of male and female R. kohlsi.
