Ticks are vectors of zoonotic diseases of relevant concern for Public Health. Birds are host of these arthropods and they can transport them during their movements, migratory or not. Data about microorganisms harboured by ticks from birds in Spain are scarce. This fact highlighted the necessity of investigating the role of these vertebrates in the epidemiology of arthropod-borne diseases. Thereby, several studies, that have been published in seven scientific articles and one communication in an international congress, were carried out and they are showed in this manuscript. Tick specimens collected from birds in the Iberian Peninsula, and occasionally in Morocco, were studied to assess the presence of bacteria (Anaplasma/Ehrlichia, Borrel...
