Linognathus vituli ( Linnaeus, 1758) ; Durden & Musser 1994: 44.

Type host: Bos taurus Linnaeus, 1758 —Domestic cattle.

Malaysian host: Bos taurus .

Malaysian locality: “West Malaysia ” ( Mustaffa-Babjee 1969).

Geographical distribution: Cosmopolitan, except Antarctica ( Durden & Musser 1994; Price & Graham 1997).

Remarks: The adult male and female of Linognathus vituli were redescribed and illustrated by Ferris (1932a, 1951) and Kim et al. (1986). Studies of L. vituli in Malaysia are lacking, with only one record ( Mustaffa-Babjee 1969). Considering that Anaplasma marginale , A. ovis , Rickettsia helvetica and Theileria orientalis were detected in L. vituli (see Hornok et al. 2010; Emery et al. 2021), surveys and studies are needed to establish levels of parasitism and to apply control methods where necessary.
