An adult female Mediterranean Tick (Hyalomma marginatum). In nature, ticks
range in size from adults that are 2-5 mm in length to immature stages which
are no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence. Hyalomma ticks
inhabit dry, semi-desert regions of Europe, Asia and Africa and may also carry the Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) virus.
