Abstract Nosema slovaca (Microsporidiae) was isolated from a maleDermacentor reticulatus tick collected in the Mélykút locality, Bács-Kiskun province, Hungary. This parasitic protozoan caused an acute infection in partly engorgedD. reticulatus females when inoculated intracoelomically resulting in death of the ticks within 5–15 days post-infection. This strain ofNosema can be maintained in the laboratory by passaging between partly engorgedD. reticulatus females and is currently being studied for its potential as a biological control agent of ixodid ticks.
