A total of 2,017 ticks were collected from sheep, goats, cattle, and wild ruminants (deer, roe deer, and chamois) in southern parts of Switzerland and identified morphologically. The vast majority of the ticks (99.2%) were\n                    <jats:italic>Ixodes ricinus<\/jats:italic>\n                    , but 14 ticks from sheep and goats were identified as\n                    <jats:italic>Dermacentor marginatus<\/jats:italic>\n                    and two ticks from wild ruminants were identified as\n                    <jats:italic>Hemaphysalis punctata<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
