Abstract
The tick was found along the central and southern parts of the Arabian Gulf Coast of the Eastern Province and in the Al-Sarawat Mountains Range in Makkah Province. In both regions, B. kohlsi was found parasitizing goats only, on which it coexists with Rhipicephalus turanicus and sometimes with R. turanicus and Hyalomma impeltatum . In Makkah Province, the main partner of B. kohlsi on its goat hosts was Hyalomma arabica . The infestation of goats by B. kohlsi in both regions was seasonal and occurred only during the most humid months of the year, October to March, with a peak in January and February.
