Abstract
Contrawise to mosquitoes, there is no country-wide long-term surveillance of ticks in Germany, leading to large gaps in coverage for distribution data. Here we report on results from two consecutive tick studies in northern Rhineland-Palatinate, western Germany, conducted in 2022 and 2023. In 2022, a new focus of the ornate sheep tick Dermacentor marginatus was detected at a military training area east of Coblenz ("Schmidtenhöhe") which is partially managed as a nature reserve where old races of cattle and horses are grazing. Two unexpected further foci were discovered north and west of the city in 2024. In 2023, repeated flagging in a small area of a forest southwest of Coblenz ("Stadtwald") revealed four nymphs of the passerine bird tick Ixodes frontalis. However, over 99% of all flagged ticks turned out to belong to the species Ixodes ricinus (Linnaeus, 1758).
期刊介绍：
Experimental and Applied Acarology publishes peer-reviewed original papers describing advances in basic and applied research on mites and ticks. Coverage encompasses all Acari, including those of environmental, agricultural, medical and veterinary importance, and all the ways in which they interact with other organisms (plants, arthropods and other animals). The subject matter draws upon a wide variety of disciplines, including evolutionary biology, ecology, epidemiology, physiology, biochemistry, toxicology, immunology, genetics, molecular biology and pest management sciences.
