[The discovery of Dermacentor reticulatus (Ixodida, Ixodidae) in the East German districts of Leipzig and Halle].
A report on findings of Dermacentor reticulatus, a very rare tick species in the GDR, in 3 localities situated in the heath region of Düben and Dahlen (GDR districts of Leipzig and Halle). Three adults of Dermacentor reticulatus ticks were caught by brushing over the vegetation with a flag in one of 235 places in May and September 1987. On the other hand, a total of 2,877 Ixodes ricinus ticks was found in all places. In the same year, from the same area, we also found 2 adults of Dermacentor reticulatus on a man's clothing and on a horse.
