Haemaphysalis novaeguineae Hirst 1914

Description

109. Haemaphysalis novaeguineae Hirst, 1914.

An Australasian species, all of whose parasitic stages have been found on Artiodactyla: Cervidae and Suidae, and Peramelemorphia: Peramelidae. Adults and nymphs have been collected from Diprotodontia: Macropodidae; adults and larvae have been recovered from Cuculiformes: Cuculidae; adults alone have been found on Carnivora: Canidae, Monotremata: Tachyglossidae, Perissodactyla: Equidae, Rodentia: Muridae, and Gruiformes: Rallidae; nymphs alone have been recovered from Carnivora: Felidae. Haemaphysalis novaeguineae is a very rare parasite of humans.

Note: Camicas et al. (1998) state that Haemaphysalis novaeguineae is an Australasian and Oriental species, but Guglielmone et al. (2014) follow Hoogstraal and Kim (1985), who list it as an exclusively Australasian taxon. The name Haemaphysalis novaeguineae Hirst should not be confused with Haemaphysalis novaeguineae Krijgsman and Ponto, a preoccupied name and synonym of Haemaphysalis bancrofti, which itself is also confused with Haemaphysalis anomala. See Haemaphysalis anomala and Haemaphysalis bancrofti.
