The East Asian mountain haemaphysalid, (Haemaphysalis hystricis), is a hard-bodied tick of the genus Haemaphysalis. It is found in India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Myanmar, China, Japan, India, Indonesia, Laos, Taiwan and Thailand.[1] It is an obligate ectoparasite of mammals. It is a potential vector of Kyasanur Forest disease virus,[2] Coxiella sp., Ehrlichia sp., and Rickettsia japonica.[3][4] In 2007, an unknown trypanosoma species known as Trypanosoma KG1 isolate was isolated from naturally infected H. hystricis ticks.[5]
Parasitism
Adults parasitize various wild and domestic mammals such as domestic cattle, dogs, and humans.[6]
