Haemaphysalis bandicota Hoogstraal and Kohls, 1965 View in CoL

This species has been recorded from Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as from Taiwan, where it may have been introduced by the Dutch in the 16 th century on its dominant hosts (Hoogstraal and Kohls 1965; Robbins 2005). These are bandicoot rats ( Bandicota spp.), although Ha. bandicota has also been found on other rodent species, carnivores, shrews, tree shrews and a zebu cow (Hoogstraal and Kohls 1965; Kolonin 2009; Kuo et al. 2015). Because members of the genus Bandicota occur throughout continental Southeast Asia, it is likely that the known distribution of Ha. bandicota will increase as more collections become available. The three continental Southeast Asian Bandicota species are all synanthropic ( Francis 2008), suggesting that Ha. bandicota may come into contact with humans.

All life history stages are described in Hoogstraal and Kohls (1965).
