“…In the non-parasitic phase of their life cycle, ticks reside on the soil surface and in the lower parts of plants, where they find most favourable humidity conditions and have the greatest chance of finding a host. Hence, the highest prevalence of tick infestation is noted in ground-foraging birds, especially species from the orders Passeriformes (Alaudidae and Corvidae) and Galliformes (Phasianidae) [12,[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41].…”

This opinion piece highlights the role of migratory birds in the spread of ticks and their role in the circulation and dissemination of pathogens in Europe. Birds with different lifestyles, i.e., non-migrants residing in a specific area, or short-, medium-, and long-distance migrants, migrating within one or several distant geographical regions are carriers of a number of ticks and tick-borne pathogens. During seasonal migrations, birds that cover long distances over a short time and stay temporarily in different habitats can introduce tick and pathogen species in areas where they have never occurred. An increase in the geographical range of ticks as well as the global climate changes affecting the pathogens, vectors, and their hosts increase the incidence and the spread of emerging tick-borne diseases worldwide. Tick infestations of birds varied between regions depends on the rhythms of tick seasonal activity and the bird migration rhythms determined by for example, climatic and environmental factors. In areas north of latitude ca. 58°N, immature Ixodes ricinus ticks are collected from birds most frequently, whereas ticks from the Hyalomma marginatum group dominate in areas below 42°N. We concluded that the prognosis of hazards posed by tick-borne pathogens should take into account changes in the migration of birds, hosts of many epidemiologically important tick species.

“…The evolutionary histories of Aves and Ixodidae may indicate an ancient relationship as hypothesized by Morel (1969), Stothard and Fuerst (1995), Kolonin (2008), Dietrich et al (2014) and de la Fuente et al (2015). There are works about Aves as hosts for particular species of ticks, but few give an ample scope on this tick-host relationship.…”

“…These Ixodes shows a Palearctic predominance but jointly encompasses all zoogeographic regions. According to the subgeneric division of Clifford et al (1973) The Ceratixodes I. uriae and I. jacksoni plus eight species of Ixodes feed on MB and all receive the treatment of "primitive" Ixodes by Zumpt (1951Zumpt ( , 1952, Morel (1969), Filippova (1977), Balashov (1994) and Kolonin (2008). They are currently parasites of Neognathae that were established before the K-Pg boundary (Pacheco et al, 2011) and these tick species (or their ancestors) probably surpassed this boundary along with these types of hosts.…”

“…There are works about Aves as hosts for particular species of ticks, but few give an ample scope on this tick-host relationship. Kolonin (2008) shows the broad relationship as Aves as hosts for adult ixodid ticks, Arthur (1958Arthur ( , 1960 and Dietrich et al (2011) summarized the distribution of ticks from marine birds, Zumpt (1952) presented data about Ixodidae and sea birds in the Antarctic, while analyzed the role of Aves for all species of Ixodidae. Here we analyze Aves as hosts for Ixodidae focusing on species whose post embryonic stages (larva, nymph, adult) are strictly related to Aves considering that this information is relevant to understand part of tick life history.…”

SUMMARY.The relationship between birds (Aves) and hard ticks (Ixodidae) was analyzed for the 386 of 725 tick extant species whose larva, nymph and adults are known as well as their natural hosts. A total of 136 (54 Prostriata= Ixodes, 82 Metastriata= all other genera) are frequently found on Aves, but only 32 species (1 associated with Palaeognathae, 31 with Neognathae) have all parasitic stages feeding on birds: 25 Ixodes (19% of the species analyzed for this genus), 6 Haemaphysalis (7%) and 1 species of Amblyomma (2%). The species of Amblyomma feeds on marine birds (MB), the six Haemaphysalis are parasites of non-marine birds (NMB), and 14 of the 25 Ixodes feed on NMB, one feeds on NMB and MB, and ten on MB. The Australasian Ixodes + I. uriae clade probably originated at an uncertain time from the late Triassic to the early Cretaceous. It is speculated that Prostriata first hosts were Gondwanan theropod dinosaurs in an undetermined place before Pangaea break up; alternatively, if ancestral monotromes were involved in its evolution an Australasian origin of Prostriata seems plausible. As for Prostriata the Motherland of Ixodida is probably Gondwana.RESUMEN. Aves y garrapatas duras (Ixodidae), con discusión sobre hipótesis sobre evolución de las garrapatas. En esta revisión se analizó la relación entre aves y garrapatas duras (Ixodidae) para las 386 de 725 especies de garrapatas que utilizan aves como hospedadores para larvas, ninfas y adultos. Un total de 136 especies (54 Prostriata= Ixodes, 82 Metastriata= restantes géneros) son frecuentemente encontradas sobre aves, pero solo 32 especies (1 asociada con Palaeognathae, 31 con Neognathae) tienen ciclos donde todos los estadios se alimentan sobre aves: 25 Ixodes (19% de las especies analizadas para este género), 6 Haemaphysalis (7% del total) y 1 especie de Amblyomma (2% del total). Las especies de Amblyomma se alimentan sobre aves marinas (MB), las seis de Haemaphysalis son parásitas de aves no-marinas (NMB), y 14 de las 25 especies de Ixodes se alimentan sobre NMB, una sobre NMB y MB, y diez sobre MB. El clado de Australasia Ixodes + I. uriae probablemente se originó entre el fin del Triásico y comienzos del Cretácico. Se especula que los primeros hospedadores de Prostriata fueron dinosaurios terópodos con distribución Gondwánica; alternativamente, si monotremas ancestrales estuvieron involucrados en su evolución, un origen de Prostriata en Australasia es plausible. Al igual que para Prostriata, el área de origen de Ixodida es probablemente Gondwana.

Species composition and contamination by the causative agents of natural focal infections, notably Ixodes ticks, collected in 2014-2015 on the Island Russky were studied. The total of 817 ticks was collected, including Ixodes persulcatus, I. pavlovskyi, Haemaphysalis concinna, H. japonica douglasi. The most of the nymphs (46 specimens) were observed in I. pavlovskyi. Using immune-enzyme analysis, reliably higher rate of positive findings was revealed in I. pavlovskyi (2.2 %) compared to I. persulcatus (0.5 %) while analyzing individual contamination of two Ixodes species. The pattern of inter-specific distinctions did not changed (I. pavlovskyi -1.3 %; I. persulcatus -0.5 %) when investigating tick virus burden by means of polymerase chain reaction. However, in case of comparative evaluation, using the same method, of their contamination with borrelia (I. pavlovskyi -25.1 %; I. persulcatus -46.4 %), agents of granulocytic anaplasmosis (I. pavlovskyi -1.9 %; I. persulcatus -5.7 %) and monocytic ehrlichiosis (I. pavlovskyi -1.3 %; I. persulcatus -7.2 %) I. persulcatus showed higher indicators. Only tick-borne encephalitis RNA and borrelia DNA were revealed in I. pavlovskyi nymphs, whereat their contamination by spirochetes (45.7 %) was authentically higher than of imagoes. The natural focus of tick-borne encephalitis on the Island Russky is estimated now as low-active one. At the same time, of Ixodes tick-borne borreliosis -as active, with significant contamination of the tick nymphs with spirochetes. In terms of high nymph contamination it is supposed that in 2016 the risk of Ixodes tick-borne...
