Physical examination of semi-domesticated, free ranging mithuns (Bos frontalis) during an animal health check-up and treatment camp organized at Khuwangleng village in the Champhai district of Mizoram, India and adjacent to Myanmar Border revealed presence of unusually large blood engorged ticks attaching to the dewlap and inner aspects of thighs. On the basis of morphological study, the ticks were found indistinguishable from female Amblyomma testudinarium. Prevalence rate of the tick species in mithuns living in the forests was 9.09 % which was recorded as the highest of all reports made earlier from the North Eastern region of India. Medical and veterinary significance of the tick is discussed in the light of available literature. Not Available |
