Tick research in the Czech Republic started developing rapidly after World War II and was directed to the faunistics and taxonomy, biology, ecology and behaviour, physiology and genetics, disease transmission, host-parasite relationships and control. Altogether 15 tick species were reported from the territory of the Czech Republic. Most studies in biology, ecology and virus transmission were dedicated to Ixodes ricinus, but biology and ecology of Dermacentor reticulatus, I. laguri and I. hexagonus were also studied. Many studies were done on argasid ticks, mostly on pheromonal communication of Argas persicus and immunology of feeding of A. polonicus. Population variability of both these species was also studied. The present research on ticks is mostly directed to study of interaction among hosts, ticks and pathogens on the humoral, cellular and molecular level.
第二次世界大战后，捷克共和国的蜱类研究开始迅速发展，研究方向包括动物区系和分类学、生物学、生态学与行为学、生理学与遗传学、疾病传播、宿主 - 寄生虫关系以及防治。捷克共和国境内共报告了15种蜱类。生物学、生态学和病毒传播方面的大多数研究都集中在蓖麻硬蜱，但也对网纹革蜱、拉氏硬蜱和六角硬蜱的生物学和生态学进行了研究。对软蜱进行了许多研究，主要集中在波斯锐缘蜱的信息素交流以及波兰锐缘蜱取食的免疫学方面。还研究了这两个物种的种群变异性。目前对蜱类的研究主要致力于在体液、细胞和分子水平上研究宿主、蜱类和病原体之间的相互作用。
