A new locality of the Haemaphysalis concinna tick (Koch, 1844) in Poland and its role as a potential vector of infectious diseases

: The Haemaphysalis concinna tick is a rare species in Poland. To date, it was found only once a few decades ago. During tick collection for epidemiological studies, a stable population of this arachnid was found in a military training area near Nowa Deba. This report is particularly important, given the role of Haemaphysalis concinna in the spread of dangerous vector-borne diseases.
