The following report concerns the first record and occurrence of an ornate cow tick (Dermacentor reticulatus) in the Silesian province. One female and one male were collected from a dog in the veterinary clinic in Racib6rz, while in the vicinity of Zywiec one female tick was found also on a dog. Ticks collected in Racib6rz are most probably part of the local fauna, while the specimen from Zywiec may have come from the Warsaw area, the source of the host. These findings confirm changes of European distribution recorded lately for this species and the role of humans in this process. However, they need to be supported by more thorough research involving collection by flagging and/or other hosts such as wild animals.
以下报告涉及华丽牛蜱（血红扇头蜱）在西里西亚省的首次记录及出现情况。在拉齐布日的一家兽医诊所，从一只狗身上采集到一只雌蜱和一只雄蜱，而在济维耶采附近，也在一只狗身上发现了一只雌蜱。在拉齐布日采集到的蜱很可能是当地动物群落的一部分，而来自济维耶采的标本可能来自华沙地区，即宿主的来源地。这些发现证实了该物种最近在欧洲分布的变化以及人类在这一过程中的作用。然而，需要通过更全面的研究来支持这些发现，包括通过拖旗法采集和/或采集其他宿主（如野生动物）。
