Abstrakt: Abstract: The tick Hyalomma rufipesKoch, 1844 (Acari, Ixodidae) is the main vector of the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) in southern and eastern Africa. In the spring migrations of birds, immature ticks of this species are carried out beyond the range of the parasite and are often found in various countries of Europe. Finds of adult ticks in Europe are single. In June 2018, in the north of Stavropol krai, one male of H. rufipeswith characteristic features was removed from a cow. Prior to this, single registrations of this species were known on the territory of Astrakhan oblast, Dagestan, and Stavropol krai in the middle of the last century.
