An updated and increased compilation of georeferenced tick locations in Germany is presented here. This data collection extends the dataset published some years ago by another 1448 new tick locations, 900 locations of which were digitized from literature and 548 locations are published here for the first time. This means that a total of 3492 georeferenced tick locations is now available for Germany. The tick fauna of Germany includes two species of Argasidae in the genera Argas and Carios and 19 species of Ixodidae in the genera Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis, and Ixodes, altogether 21 tick species. In addition, three species of Ixodidae in the genera Hyalomma (each spring imported by migratory birds) and Rhipicephalus (occasionally imported by dogs returning from abroad with their owners) are included in the tick atlas. Of these, the georeferenced locations of 23 tick species are depicted in maps. The occurrence of the one remaining tick species, the recently described Ixodes inopinatus, is given at the level of the federal states. The most common and widespread tick species is Ixodes ricinus, with records in all 16 federal states. With the exception of Hamburg, Dermacentor reticulatus was also found in all federal states. The occurrence of the ixodid ticks Ixodes canisuga, Ixodes frontalis, Ixodes hexagonus and I. inopinatus were documented in at least 11 federal states each. The two mentioned argasid tick species were also documented in numerous federal states, the pigeon tick Argas reflexus in 11 and the bat tick Carios vespertilionis in seven federal states. The atlas of ticks in Germany and the underlying digital dataset in the supplement can be used to improve global tick maps or to study the effects of climate change and habitat alteration on the distribution of tick species.
本文呈现了一份经过更新和扩充的德国蜱地理位置地理参考资料汇编。该数据集扩展了几年前发布的数据集，新增了 1448 个新蜱地理位置，其中 900 个位置是从文献中数字化的，548 个位置是首次在此发布。这意味着，德国现在共有 3492 个地理参考蜱位置。德国的蜱类动物包括 Argasidae 科的两个属 Argas 和 Carios 的两种蜱，以及 Ixodidae 科的 Dermacentor、Haemaphysalis 和 Ixodes 属的 19 种蜱，共有 21 种蜱。此外，Ixodidae 科的三个属 Hyalomma（每年春天由候鸟携带入境）和 Rhipicephalus（偶尔由随主人从国外返回的狗携带入境）的蜱也包括在蜱类地图集中。其中，23 种蜱的地理位置以地图形式呈现。唯一剩余的蜱种，即最近描述的 Ixodes inopinatus，在联邦州一级给出。最常见和分布最广的蜱种是 Ixodes ricinus，在所有 16 个联邦州都有记录。除汉堡外，所有联邦州都发现了 Dermacentor reticulatus。Ixodes canisuga、Ixodes frontalis、Ixodes hexagonus 和 I. inopinatus 等 ixodid 蜱的出现，在至少 11 个联邦州都有记录。上述两种 argasid 蜱种也在许多联邦州被记录到，鸽子蜱 Argas reflexus 在 11 个联邦州，蝙蝠蜱 Carios vespertilionis 在 7 个联邦州。德国的蜱类地图集和补充资料中的基础数字数据集可用于改进全球蜱类地图，或研究气候变化和生境改变对蜱类分布的影响。
