In winter months during 2003-2006, wild birds were captured and examined for ticks and chiggers at two sites near Brno, Czech Republic. In total, 1,362 birds, mostly passerines, were examined. The tick Ixodes arboricola Schulze et Schlottke, 1929 was found on 47 (3%) birds of six species. Ixodes ricinus Linnaeus, 1758 was found on 11 (1%) birds of five species. Larvae of chiggers Ascoschoengastia latyshevi (Schluger 1955) were found on 13 (1%) birds of six species. I. arboricola and A. latyshevi associated with hole-nesting birds can appear on birds rather frequently even during winter months. I. ricinus occurs on birds in winter sporadically.
在2003年至2006年的冬季，在捷克共和国布尔诺附近的两个地点捕获野生鸟类，并检查其是否携带蜱虫和恙螨。总共检查了1362只鸟，其中大部分是雀形目鸟类。在6个物种的47只（3%）鸟类身上发现了1929年的乔木硬蜱（Ixodes arboricola Schulze et Schlottke）。在5个物种的11只（1%）鸟类身上发现了1758年的蓖麻硬蜱（Ixodes ricinus Linnaeus）。在6个物种的13只（1%）鸟类身上发现了恙螨拉氏阿斯科恙螨（Ascoschoengastia latyshevi (Schluger 1955)）的幼虫。与洞巢鸟类相关的乔木硬蜱和拉氏阿斯科恙螨即使在冬季也可能相当频繁地出现在鸟类身上。蓖麻硬蜱在冬季偶尔出现在鸟类身上。
