The first records of adult Hyalomma marginatum and H. rufipes ticks in Sweden were reported in 2018 (Grandi et al., 2019). These findings were the starting point of a new surveillance report system at the National Veterinary Institute (SVA) where the general public was encouraged to send photos of uncommon/exotic ticks. Since 2018, repeated findings of adults of alien tick species (e.g., H. marginatum, H. rufipes and Dermacentor reticulatus) have been reported in Sweden. Climate change is probably one explanation for this trend. Monitoring alien ticks is highly relevant since they could introduce new zoonotic tick-borne pathogens.
