Hyalomma marginatum is widely distributed across the Mediterranean, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Current climate conditions in Northern Europe are thought to limit the species' ability to moult to the adult stage. It is a vector of several pathogens of human and veterinary concern, including Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, for which it is the primary vector in Europe. Here, we report the first human exposure to a locally acquired adult H. marginatum in England, and the second detection in England of Rickettsia aeschlimannii associated with imported Hyalomma.
边缘革蜱广泛分布于地中海、北非和中东地区。目前北欧的气候条件被认为限制了该物种蜕皮至成虫阶段的能力。它是几种对人类和兽医具有重要意义的病原体的传播媒介，包括克里米亚-刚果出血热病毒，在欧洲它是该病毒的主要传播媒介。在这里，我们报告了在英国首次发现当地成年边缘革蜱感染人类，以及在英国第二次发现与输入性边缘革蜱有关的无形体。
