The understanding of ticks role as pathogen vectors has to rely on the fact that potential tick activity obtained by sampling the free living forms from the vegetation or collected from the body of a host, represent the actual association between ticks and their numerous adequate hosts in nature. Ticks were collected from nature, from hosts and using CO2 traps from four hunting resorts in Vojvodina (Serbia): Srpski Krstur, Novi Kneževac, Senta and Kanjiža from March till September in 2011. Six species were identified: Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor marginatus, D. reticulatus, Haemophysalis punctata, H. sulcata and H. concinna. Preciseestimation of tick abundance enhances the efficacy of control and enables calculation of ectoparasitic burden which could be used as a parameter in practice for adequate and suitable management of hunting resorts.
