Ixodes ricinus Linnaeus (Acari: Ixodidae) is the most abundant and widely distributed tick in the British Isles, and is a vector for a number of bacterial, viral and protozoal pathogens of both medical and veterinary importance. This report provides an update to the historical distribution data of I. ricinus, published by the Biological Records Centre (BRC), Monks Wood in The Provisional Atlas of the Ticks (Ixodidae) of the British Isles by K. P. Martyn (1988), and is supplemented with additional BRC records since 1988, additional data from published scientific literature and unpublished field studies, and enhanced with spatial and temporal information on tick stages collected and their host associations. Records have been mapped at 10 km resolution and enhanced to 5 km, 1 km and 0.1 km. Differentiation between records representing one-off collections from those representing populations of I. ricinus has been achieved through the classification of the records into either reported or established populations. Detailed seasonality and host associations of records are investigated, highlighting the value in obtaining additional detailed contemporary data to aid risk assessments and research within this field.
蓖麻硬蜱（Ixodes ricinus Linnaeus，蜱螨亚纲：硬蜱科）是不列颠群岛数量最多、分布最广的蜱虫，是多种对医学和兽医学都具有重要意义的细菌、病毒和原生动物病原体的传播媒介。本报告更新了生物记录中心（BRC）发表的蓖麻硬蜱历史分布数据，该数据由K. P. 马丁（1988年）发表在《不列颠群岛蜱虫（硬蜱科）临时图谱》中的僧侣伍德部分，报告还补充了自1988年以来BRC的其他记录、已发表科学文献和未发表实地研究的其他数据，并增加了所收集蜱虫各阶段的时空信息及其宿主关联信息。记录已绘制在10公里分辨率上，并提升至5公里、1公里和0.1公里分辨率。通过将记录分类为报告种群或已确定种群，实现了区分代表一次性采集的记录和代表蓖麻硬蜱种群的记录。研究了记录的详细季节性和宿主关联，强调了获取更多详细当代数据以协助该领域风险评估和研究的价值。
