In Europe, hard ticks of the subgenus Pholeoixodes (Ixodidae: Ixodes) are usually associated with burrow-dwelling mammals and terrestrial birds. Reports spp. from carnivores frequently contradictory, their identification is not based on key diagnostic characters. Therefore, aims present study were to identify collected dogs, foxes badgers in several European countries, reassess systematic status molecular analyses using two mitochondrial markers. Between 2003 2017, 144 nine countries. From...
Abstract An updated and increased compilation of georeferenced tick locations in Germany is presented here. This data collection extends the dataset published some years ago by another 1448 new locations, 900 which were digitized from literature 548 are here for first time. means that a total 3492 now available Germany.

Abstract Infestation with Baylisascaris procyonis, a gastrointestinal nematode of the raccoon, can cause fatal disease in humans. We found that parasite is widespread central Germany and pose public health risk. The spread B. procyonis roundworms into nematode-free raccoon populations needs to be monitored.
Three Palearctic members of the subgenus Pholeoixodes, i.e., Ixodes canisuga, hexagonus and kaiseri are frequently collected from dogs, cats, red foxes, badgers other carnivorous/insectivorous hosts in Europe. While a pictorial identification key has been reported for female Pholeoixodes ticks, similar work not done on their male, nymphal larval specimens. This study was initiated order to clarify re-examine those morphological characters these three tick species, which can be used...
