Article Abstract
Carios vespertilionis Latreille, 1802 is a typical bat parasite, widely distributed in the Palearctic, Oriental and Afrotropical realms. Its localities were found throughout Poland, yet it is considerably more common in the south. Currently, 105 bats have been examined, collected in the period 1999–2017 from 27 localities in northern Poland; 102 C. vespertilionis larvae were noted in 6 bats of 3 species of the Pipistrellus genus, originating from 5 localities, of which all constitute new locality for the short-legged bat tick. Instances of C. vespertilionis larvae wintering in the hosts have been observed as well as occurrence of this parasite outside of bat breeding colonies.

Argas and Carios ticks are medically and veterinary significant ectoparasites that primarily parasitize pigeons, wild birds, and other domestic fowl. In China, Argas and Carios ticks are widely distributed, particularly in the southeastern coastal and northwestern regions. The present study utilized the MaxEnt (Maximum Entropy) model to simulate the distribution of four Argas species one Carios species in China, based on existing survey and climate data.

Despite the high burden of human and animal infectious diseases in Cameroon, implementing integrative approaches to managing and controlling arthropods and their pathogens remains challenging. Surveillance should be designed to detect diseases and provide relevant field-based data for developing and implementing effective control measures to prevent outbreaks before significant public and animal health consequences can occur. Nowadays, ticks are considered the primary vectors of animal diseases in the world, and the second vector of human diseases after mosquitoes.

Nine species-level taxa of bat ectoparasites, three chigger mites (Trombiculidae), three hard (Ixodidae), and one soft tick (Argasidae) species, as well as two bug (Cimicidae) species from nine bat species hosts were detected in the Eastern Palaearctic. Trombiculid larvae of Leptotrombidium schlugerae, Leptotrombidium album, and Ascoschoengastia latyshevi were first recorded on bats in the temperate zone of eastern Russia. L.

Background: Arthropods parasites of bats play a crucial role in both ecological and public health contexts, as they have the potential to transmit zoonotic agents. The study aims to identify the distribution, and host-parasite associations of bat ectoparasites in the Grand Maghreb region (Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia), which has been largely understudied.
Methods: A thorough analysis of published records was conducted and we included our own field data.
