Abstract:	Ostriches are acquiring a status of species for livestock production in Portugal. The introduction of this species can lead to new animal and public health problems. Ixodidae in two ostrich herds have been found following our veterinary parasitological activity. As ticks are vectors and agents of diseases, such as Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) we are compelled to keep epidemiological surveillance on the diseases of ostriches, in order to evaluate their implications in animal and public health.
