Abstract
This study describes the first detection of Ixodes ventalloi in Slovakia. Two engorged females of I. ventalloi were collected from Dunnocks (Prunella modularis) captured in eastern Slovakia. The identification of females was based on morphological and molecular 16S rRNA gene features. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a classification of the females into distinct genogroups. Moreover, comparative morphological analysis highlighted variations between the two females, particularly in the curvature of the auriculae, the shape of coxa I, and the internal spur. These findings suggest the potential for varied phenotypes of I. ventalloi correlated with their genogroups. Nonetheless, I. ventalloi population establishment within Slovakia necessitates further investigation through flagging or drag sampling.
在斯洛伐克首次发现蜱虫 Ixodes ventalloi Gil Collado（1936 年）并发现其新的鸟类宿主。
本研究描述了在斯洛伐克首次发现的 Ixodes ventalloi。研究人员从斯洛伐克东部捕获的敦诺克（Prunella modularis）中采集到两只充血的 I. ventalloi 雌虫。根据形态学和分子 16S rRNA 基因特征对雌虫进行了鉴定。系统进化分析表明，雌虫被划分为不同的基因组。此外，比较形态学分析突出显示了两只雌蛙之间的差异，特别是在耳廓的弯曲度、尾萼 I 的形状和内距方面。这些发现表明，文鸟的表型可能与其基因组相关。尽管如此，斯洛伐克境内的 I. ventalloi 种群建立仍需要通过标记或拖曳取样进行进一步调查。
