Dermacentor reticulatus (Fabricius, 1794), also known as the marsh tick or ornate dog tick is the second most significant vector (next to Ixodes ricinus) of protozoan, rickettsial and viral pathogens in Europe. Until now, only limited information on the distribution of D. reticulatus in Romania is available. A study was conducted on the distribution of D. reticulatus in Romania during 2012-2014. In this study, D. reticulatus was detected in 17 counties, in 14 of which the species was recorded for the first time. Tick activity was evident throughout the year, except during July and August. Additionally, D. reticulatus was recorded for the first time in Romania from wild boar, foxes and humans. These data suggest that this tick species has a broader geographic range and may have more veterinary and medical importance than previously known.
网纹革蜱（Fabricius，1794年），也被称为沼泽蜱或华丽犬蜱，是欧洲第二重要的原生动物、立克次氏体和病毒病原体传播媒介（仅次于蓖麻硬蜱）。到目前为止，罗马尼亚关于网纹革蜱分布的信息非常有限。2012年至2014年期间，开展了一项关于罗马尼亚网纹革蜱分布的研究。在这项研究中，在17个县检测到了网纹革蜱，其中14个县是首次记录到该物种。除了7月和8月，蜱虫全年都有活动迹象。此外，罗马尼亚首次从野猪、狐狸和人类身上发现了网纹革蜱。这些数据表明，这种蜱虫的地理分布范围更广，其兽医和医学重要性可能比之前所知的更大。
