Haemaphysalis bispinosa is a hard-bodied tick of the genus Haemaphysalis . It is found in India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Pakistan, Nepal, Australia, and Indonesia. [1] It is an obligate ectoparasite of mammals. It is a potential vector of Kyasanur Forest disease virus. These ticks was found parasitized by a chalcid Hunterellus sagarensis in these diseased areas. [2] [3]

Parasitism

Adults parasitize various wild and domestic mammals such as domestic cattle, goats, and sheep and various bird species. [4] It is a potential vector of Bartonella bovis , which causing Bartonellosis. [5]
