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.
