Abstract

Phoretic deutonymphs of Thyreophagus corticalis (Michael, 1885) were found associated with a male and nymphs of Ixodes ricinus during a sampling conducted in May 2024 in the district of Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, using the flagging method. A total of six deutonymphs were detected on four of the 652 ticks collected at four out of 25 sampling sites, indicating a geographically restricted and low incidence. This account is the first report of a phoretic association of T. corticalis with I. ricinus. We consider this phoretic association likely to be coincidental, possibly resulting from the ticks coming into contact with organic or decaying material at these four sampling sites where T. corticalis populations occurred.

食Thyreophagus corticalis (Michael, 1885)（蜱螨亚纲：蜱螨科）在蓖麻伊蚊（Linnaeus, 1758）（蜱螨亚纲：蜱螨科）上的嗜螨双螨首次报道

2024年5月，在德国巴登-符腾堡州罗伊特林根地区，用标记法对一株蓖麻伊蚊（Ixodes ricinus）的雄性和雌性进行了抽样调查，发现了一株食腺腺螨（michael1885）的双翅虫。在25个采样点中，4个采样点共采集到652只蜱，其中4只蜱检出6只双形螨，地理分布受限，发病率低。这是第一个关于皮质绦虫与蓖麻绦虫的遗传关联的报道。我们认为这种联系可能是巧合，可能是由于蜱接触到有机或腐烂的物质在这四个采样点的皮质蜱种群发生。

期刊介绍： Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal. It publishes original research papers, short communications, state-of-the-art mini-reviews, letters to the editor, clinical-case studies, announcements of pertinent international meetings, and editorials. The journal covers a broad spectrum and brings together various disciplines, for example, zoology, microbiology, molecular biology, genetics, mathematical modelling, veterinary and human medicine. Multidisciplinary approaches and the use of conventional and novel methods/methodologies (in the field and in the laboratory) are crucial for deeper understanding of the natural processes and human behaviour/activities that result in human or animal diseases and in economic effects of ticks and tick-borne pathogens. Such understanding is essential for management of tick populations and tick-borne diseases in an effective and environmentally acceptable manner.
