Sampling Methods
Animals (sheep, cattle, goats, cats and dogs) were checked for ticks at multiple farm locations. Ticks dragging was performed. Ticks were stored in single tubes per animal or per dragging site. Ticks were identified morphologically to confirm species.
| Study Extent | "Samplings in Montenegro took place from 23rd to 27th June 2025 in Nikšić, Cetinje, Danilovgrad, Podgorica, Ulcinj and Kotor. Samplings in Italy took place from 15th to 19th September 2025 in Reggio Calabria and Vibo Valentia provinces." |

Method step description:
- A gap analysis was completed, using existing VectorNet data, to identify locations where ticks were likely to be present, but which lacked sampling data. Local experts were contacted to collaborate on field missions, which targeted high priority species (Hyalomma spp.). Standard sampling techniques were used (host sampling, Co2 trapping),
