Ecology and other information.

Ixodes lividus is a specific nidicolous ectoparasite of the sand martin, Riparia riparia . Also, it has been collected from birds and house mice which occasionally could visit sand martin’s nests such as house sparrows and common house martins.

Due to the wide distribution of its main host, this tick species also occurs in a vast geographical range and can be characterized by having a trans-Palearctic distribution. The locations of findings in Russia and the neighboring countries listed above reflect the general pattern of its distribution on a map so we can suppose that this tick can be found in the north of the Palearctic almost everywhere in habitats of the sand martin.
