Abstrakt: Hyalomma marginatumis widely distributed across the Mediterranean, Northern Africa and the Middle East. Current climate conditions in Northern Europe are thought to limit the species’ ability to moult to the adult stage. It is a vector of several pathogens of human and veterinary concern, including Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, for which it is the primary vector in Europe. Here, we report the first human exposure to a locally acquired adult H. marginatumin England, and the second detection in England of Rickettsia aeschlimanniiassociated with imported Hyalomma.
