Hyalomma marginatum is a hard-bodied tick found on birds including the pale crag martin.

This tick has been implicated in the transmission of Bahig virus, a pathogenic arbovirus previously thought to be transmitted only by mosquitoes.

[1] The Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever virus has also been detected in ticks of this type removed from migratory birds in Morocco.

[3] The subspecies is typically found in northern Africa, southern Europe and some parts of Asia.
