101. Ixodes hirsti Hassall, 1931 View in CoL .

An Australasian species all of whose parasitic stages have been taken from Rodentia : Muridae . Adults have been found on Carnivora : Canidae and Felidae , and Diprotodontia (several families), and larvae and nymphs have been collected from Passeriformes (several families); nymphs alone have been

recovered from Diprotodontia : Phascolarctidae ( Guglielmone & Robbins 2018, Lydecker et al. 2019). There are no bona fide records of Ixodes hirsti causing human parasitism.
