 The range is patched, a relict species. Hygrophilous, it inhabits valleys and floodplains of rivers, waterlogged localities, and similar habitats. It has a sporadic presence throughout most of its range, and is not an abundant species. In the Far East of Russia, H. concinna has continuous range and is quite abundant.

 Adults parasitize various large and middle-sized mammals. Immature ticks feed on small and middle-sized mammals and birds. Ticks are often carried out of their range by birds and create temporary populations (in valleys of the Ural River, the Pripyat River, etc.). Adults are active in spring and early summer, and immature ticks are active during the warm season. Life cycle is 2 to 3 years.

 It is a vector of tick-borne encephalitis, tularemia, and tick-borne rickettsiosis.

 Note: H. filippovae is an aberrant female of H. concinna collected in the focus of high abundance of this species.

 Principal hosts of all stages are hares and birds, but mainly pheasants (Phasianidae) and coucals Centropus.

 Note: We consider that the small morphological features of Haemaphysalis pavlovskyi Pospelova-Shtrom, 1935 and Haemaphysalis phasiana Saito, Hoogstraal and Wassef, 1974, which warranted the description of them as separate species, was caused by inhabitation by these populations on the periphery of the H. doenitzi range.

 Literature: Kolonin (1992b, 1995b), Filippova (1997), Teng and Jiang (1991), Sames et al. (2008).
