Hungary is situated in the southern part of Central Europe, next to the northern boundary of the Mediterranean region. This geographical position may allow the northward expansion of Mediterranean ixodid tick species into Hungary, particularly in the era of warming climate. During the past 14 years numerous surveys have been published on the species and activity of hard ticks occurring in the country. However, it was 60 years ago that the last comprehensive review of ixodid ticks of Hungary was published, and only in Hungarian language. The purpose of the present checklist is to provide a comprehensive and complete overview of the ixodid fauna of Hungary, based on tick reports published so far in Hungarian or English, also including hitherto unpublished data. Altogether 27 hard tick species were identified in Hungary, of which 21 can be regarded as indigenous. Most importantly, the autochthonous occurrence of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato was not known prior to 2005, but during the last 14 years increasing numbers of cases have been reported, attesting the emergence of this tick species in Hungary. Whereas R. sanguineus sensu lato was always associated with dogs and cats in Hungary, other tick species show differences in host associations according to habitat type, seasonal activity and questing height. Changes in the distribution, abundance and seasonality of a few tick species were also noted.

匈牙利的硬tick（Acari：Ixodidae）动物区系清单，重点放在寄主关联和Rhipicephalus sanguineus的出现

匈牙利位于中欧南部，毗邻地中海地区的北部边界。这种地理位置可以使地中海ixodid壁虱物种向北扩展到匈牙利，特别是在气候变暖的时代。在过去的14年中，已经发表了许多关于该国发生的硬tick的种类和活动的调查。但是，直到60年前，才发布了匈牙利的ixodid tick的最新综合评论，而且仅用匈牙利语。本清单的目的是根据迄今为止以匈牙利语或英语发布的壁虱报告，其中还包括迄今未公开的数据，对匈牙利的ixodid动物区系进行全面全面的概述。在匈牙利，总共发现了27种硬壁虱物种，其中21个可以被视为土著。最重要的是，在2005年之前，尚不知道Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato，但是在过去的14年中，已经报道了越来越多的病例，这证明了这种tick虫物种在匈牙利的出现。而血红意义上拉托总是用狗和猫在匈牙利有关，其他蜱物种根据生境类型，季节性活动和追问高度显示在主协会的差异。还注意到了一些壁虱种类的分布，丰度和季节性的变化。
