Abstract:

Ticks are obligatory blood-sucking ectoparasites and vectors of a variety of pathogens. As the second largest genus of the Ixodidae, Haemaphysalis is of great public health significance and attracts much attention from the academic community because it holds the characteristics of diverse species, wide distribution and potentially carrying multiple pathogens. This review focuses on the research progress of the species, distribution and pathogen carriers of Haemaphysalis at home and abroad in recent years, so as to provide references for the prevention and control of Haemaphysalis-borne diseases.

Key words: Haemaphysalis, Haemaphysalis longicornis, Haemaphysalis concinna, Haemaphysalis flava, Species, Distribution, Pathogen
