Studies were conducted in north-east Poland during the period from October 1987 to February 1993 - 570 cervids were studied (roe-deer, red deer, sika deer, fallow deer and moose). Thirteen species of ectoparasites were noted, the most frequent included Damalinia meyeri, Lipoptena cervi, Dermacentor reticulatus, Ixodes ricinus, and Chorioptes texanus, found only for the second time in Poland. The moderate number of arthropods noted included Solenopotes capreoli, S. burmeisteri and also Demodex kutzeri. The greatest infestation in the majority of hosts was noted on the bulls, that on females and young being lower but similar.
