The soft ticks of the genusReticulinasusSchulze, 1941 (family Argasidae Koch, 1844) are ectoparasites of the fruit bats of the Old World (Pteropodidae).Reticulinasus salahi(Hoogstraal, 1953) is the only representative of this genus that occurs in the western part of the Palaearctic. This unusual distribution reflects the distributon range of its primary host,Rousettus aegyptiacus(Geoffroy, 1810). In this contribution, we present a revised review of records of this tick that were made in two periods, 1951–1966 (records from Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Spain) and 2005–2019 (Cyprus, Iran, Oman), and additionally, we present notes, re-determinations, new records, and summary of hosts of this tick. Besides the primary host, the revised list of hosts comprises two bats (Taphozous perforatusGeoffroy, 1818,Otonycteris hemprichiiPeters, 1859) and the human (Homo sapiensLinnaeus, 1758). We also tried to identify pathogens in specimens of this tick collected fromR. aegyptiacusin Oman. The DNA of the Mouse herpesvirus strain 68 (MHV-68), of two bacteria,Borellia burgdorferiisensu lato, andEhrlichiasp. almost identical (98%) with CandidatusEhrlichia shimanensiswas detected in several larvae specimens.
