ABSTRACT
Ixodid tick species were collected from cattle in 60 grazing fields throughout Japan. Haemaphysalis longicornis was mainly recovered in the western and southern regions, while Ixodes species were collected mainly in the central to northern regions. Other tick species such as Amblyomma testudinarium, Boophilus microplus, H. flava and H. kitaokai were identified from a few fields in the central and southern regions. Haemaphysalis longicornis were recovered in the fields with higher temperatures and annual rainfall, whereas I. ovatus and I. persulcatus were collected in fields with lower temperatures and annual rainfall. Some of these tick species are capable of transmitting pathogens harmful to cattle and humans, so proper control strategies are required.
