Abstract

Long-legged bat tick,Ixodes(Eschatocephalus)vespertilionis Koch, was observed and collected from bats roosting in caves and a nursery shelter in the Polish part of the Carpathians between 2010 and 2012. Free-living unfed ticks occurred on cave walls in great numbers. Females and males were the most abundant. High parasite loads were noted on lesser horseshoe batsRhinolophus hipposideros(Bechstein) roosting in caves and in a nursery shelter. Immature stages predominated on bats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
