Hyalomma marginatum is a hard-bodied tick found on birds including the pale crag martin. This tick has been implicated in the transmission of Bahig virus, a pathogenic arbovirus previously thought to be transmitted only by mosquitoes.^[1] The Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus has also been detected in ticks of this type removed from migratory birds in Morocco.^[2] Hyalomma marginatum marginatum is a subspecies.^[3] The subspecies is typically found in northern Africa, southern Europe and some parts of Asia. It was also identified in Germany in 2006.^[4] It is found in Norway.^[5]
