Reestablishment of the Brown Dog Tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (s.l.) in Chișinău, Moldova: A Case of Indoor Infestation. [PDF]
A rare indoor infestation by the brown dog tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus (s.l.) was documented in an urban home in Chișinău, Moldova. The ticks were found in an apartment with no recent travel history and minimal dog movement. This case highlights the risk of reestablishment of this species in temperate regions and emphasizes the importance of ongoing ...
