 Deciduous forests on hilly plains, foothills, and the lower zone of mountains.

 Adults parasitize many wild and domestic ungulate and carnivorous mammals. Immature ticks feed on rodents and insectivores. Adults are active in the cool season from autumn to spring, while nymphs and larvae are active in summer. Mass infestation causes paralysis in the roe deer Capreolus capreolus.

 Literature: Nikolsky and Pozov (1973), Prohorova et al. (1974), Teng and Jiang (1991), Kolonin (1992b), Barral et al. (1995), Filippova (1997).

64. Haemaphysalis japonica Warburton, 1908

 


Map 31

 Russia (Amur Oblast, Primorsky and Khabarovsk Krays, and Iturup Island), China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, and Qinghai), Peninsula of Korea, and Japan.

 Deciduous and mixed coniferous-deciduous forests.

 Adults parasitize various large and middle-sized mammals. Immature ticks feed on birds and middle-sized mammals. Ticks are extremely rarely found on murid rodents and shrews. In Russia, male adult ticks are active in spring and in autumn. Some males pass winter on hosts, attaching to their ears. Nymphs are active from spring to autumn, and larvae are active from summer to autumn. Life cycle takes 2 to 3 years.

 Some authors distinguish two subspecies: H. japonica japonica Warburton, 1908 in Japan, and H. japonica douglasi Nuttall and Warburton, 1915 in the continental part of their range.
