Hyalomma marginatum is a hard-bodied tick found on birds including the pale crag martin. This tick has been implicated in the transmission of Bahig virus, a pathogenic arbovirus previously thought to be transmitted only by mosquitoes.[1]
The Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus has also been detected in ticks of this type removed from migratory birds in Morocco.[2]
Hyalomma marginatum marginatum is a subspecies.[3] The subspecies is typically found in northern Africa, southern Europe and some parts of Asia. It was also identified in Germany in 2006.[4] It is found in Norway.[5]
