It occurs in all of the countries covered in this review, as well as in East and South Asian countries and parts of the Australasian Region ( Petney and Keirans 1994; Guglielmone et al. 2014). Hosts include a wide range of birds and small to medium-sized mammals, and occasionally humans ( Hoogstraal et al. 1972b; Tanskul et al. 1983; Lah et al. 2015). It is found predominantly in forest habitats in a variety of ecoregions (Hoogstraal 1985b; Guglielmone et al. 2014). Nadchatram (1960) presents life history information on a laboratory colony of Malaysian specimens.  Lah et al. (2016)provide useful molecular data for the identification of this species. This is a member of the  Ixodes ricinus/  persulcatusspecies complex ( Xu et al. 2003).  All life history stages are illustrated in Yamaguti et al. (1971).
