Abstract
AbstractDoenitz' Oriental‐Australian bird baemaphysalid, Haemaphysalis(O.) doenitzi has been recorded as a parasite of the swamp pheasant, Centropusphasianinus (Latham) at Yeppoon Queensland. In the laboratory larvae engorged on Rattus fuscipes (Waterhouse) but not on a marsupial bandicoot Isoodon macrourus (Gould). Nymphs did not engorge on a variety of host species [man, cattle, domestic fowl, and pied currawong Strepera graculina (Shaw)] but a small proportion fed on R. fuscipes and on a white mouse. Adults, nymphs and larvae from Australia are in agreement with the description of this tick from other parts of south east Asia. Larvae described as Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) bancrofti by Roberts (1969) are in fact larvae of H. (O.) doenitzi.
