Type host: “ Bos bubalo ” = Bubalus bubalis ( Linnaeus, 1758) — Asian water buffalo.

Malaysian host: Bubalus bubalis .

Malaysian localities: “West Malaysia ” ( Mustaffa-Babjee (1969); Kota Bharu (Kelantan) Peninsular Malaysia ( Ferris 1933); Sungai Sekong (Sabah) Malaysian Borneo ( Ferris 1933).

Geographical distribution: Worldwide in subtropical and tropical zones ( Durden & Musser 1994; Price & Graham 1997).

Remarks: Ferris (1933, 1951) redescribed and illustrated Haematopinus tuberculatus , a louse species originally described from India, now known from the warmer regions of the globe ( Durden & Musser 1994). Haematopinus tuberculatus mainly infests water buffaloes, but there are reports from camels and other unrelated hosts, which were in close contact with buffaloes ( Ferris 1933). Several pathogens have been detected in Haematopinus tuberculatus , such as Anaplasma marginale , Bartonella sp. , Brucella abortus and Trypanosoma vivax (see Schafer da Silva et al. 2013; Neglia et al. 2013; Promrangsee et al. 2019; Gonçalves et al. 2020; Hernández-Velasco et al. 2020; Souza-Dyonisio et al. 2021).
