Hyalomma marginatum - A silent stowaway after vacation at the Adriatic Sea
Hyalomma marginatum is an invasive tick species capable of transmitting pathogens that cause severe diseases such as Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. In Austria, H. marginatum occurs sporadically, and migratory birds are believed to bring H. marginatum from distant regions. We report several incidents of H. marginatum imported by travelers in private cars from Croatia to Austria. One tick was positive for Rickettsia aeschlimannii. Tourist traffic may play a significant role in the northward expansion of this tick species aside from introduction by birds.
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.
