A New Endemic Locality of Dermacentor reticulatus in Central–Southern Poland and Its Potential Epidemiological Implications [PDF]
InsectsDermacentor reticulatus (Acari: Ixodidae) is an important arthropod vector in medical and veterinary contexts. Its geographic range is divided into western and eastern populations separated by a “Dermacentor-free zone” in central Poland. Recent faunistic

Monitoring Dermacentor reticulatus Host-Seeking Activity in Natural Conditions. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites of humans and animals. These arthropods employ different strategies in their host-seeking activity; most often, it is the “nest”- and “pasture-questing” behaviour. Some species, e.g., Dermacentor reticulatus, exhibit both types of activity depending on their developmental stage.

The ability of an oral formulation of afoxolaner to block the transmission of Babesia canis by Dermacentor reticulatus ticks to dogs [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2014 Background Canine babesiosis due to Babesia canis is an endemic disease in many European countries. A vaccine is available in some countries, but it does not prevent the infection and just helps in reducing the gravity of clinical signs.

High Prevalence and Low Diversity of Rickettsia in Dermacentor reticulatus Ticks, Central Europe [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2022 We collected 1,671 Dermacentor reticulatus ticks from 17 locations in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. We found 47.9% overall prevalence of Rickettsia species in ticks over all locations.

New foci of Haemaphysalis punctata and Dermacentor reticulatus in the Netherlands
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2015 In 2014 Haemaphysalis punctata was found in several locations on the mainland of the Netherlands for the first time since 1897. In the same areas Dermacentor reticulatus and Ixodes ricinus were found. Haemaphysalis punctata and D. reticulatus were tested for presence of Babesia spp. and Rickettsia spp. by PCR. Babesia spp. and spotted fever Rickettsiae

Density of Dermacentor reticulatus Ticks in Eastern Poland. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2020 Dermacentor reticulatus, the ornate cow tick, is second only to Ixodes ricinus as the most important reservoir and vector of infectious diseases in Europe. In recent years, the distribution of D. reticulatus ticks has expanded into new territories, including increased population densities in areas of their previous occurrence. Our investigations around
