The new locality of Ixodes apronophorus Schulze, 1924 in Biebrza National Park, Poland is recorded. The study was conducted in open wet-meadow habitat (Caricetum appropinquatae), in April 2007. The small mammals were caught in live-traps placed at permanent trap stations. The ectoparasites were collected from the fur using combing out method. The adult female, nymphs and larva of Ixodes apronophorus were found, feeding on the common shrew Sorex araneus.

Birds are long-known as important disseminators of ixodid ticks, in which context mostly their latitudinal, south-to-north migration is considered. However, several bird species that occur in the eastern part of the northern Palaearctic are known to migrate westward. In this study, a female tick collected from the sedge warbler, , in Lithuania was identified morphologically and analyzed with molecular-phylogenetic methods.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates tick transmission and the pathogens they carry, particularly focusing on transhumant herds in Pakistan, where research in this area is lacking.
- - Out of 129 animals examined, a high infestation rate of 72.87% was found, with a total of 352 ticks collected from sheep and goats, dominated by adult females.
- - Molecular analyses revealed high genetic similarities in the ticks and their associated pathogens, making this the first phylogenetic report and suggesting the need for further studies on tick surveillance and epidemiology.

Introduction And Objective: Progressive climate change plays a major role in the expansion of tick populations, as well as the transmission of tick-borne disease pathogens (TBPs) to humans and animals throughout the world. Zoonoses are a growing environmental problem of great importance for public health. In Poland, domestic dogs and cats are mainly infested by and Dermacentor reticulatus ticks from the Ixodidae family.
