Dermacentor limbooliati Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2015

Dermacentor limbooliati Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich, 2015 This recently described species has been found in peninsular Malaysia and Vietnam (Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2015b). As with D. filippovae and D. tamokensis, collections in other continental Southeast Asian countries are likely to bridge the gap in its disjunct distribution. Most adults were collected from vegetation, with one sample from a wild pig (Sus scrofa) resting place. Adults probably use wild pigs as hosts; the immatures are unknown (Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2015b). Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich (2015b) indicate that a female was collected from a human, without stating whether it was attached. The male and female of D. limbooliati are described in Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich (2015a).Published as part of Petney, Trevor N., Boulanger, Nathalie, Saijuntha, Weerachai, Chitimia-Dobler, Lidia, Pfeffer, Martin, Eamudomkarn, Chatanun, Andrews, Ross H., Ahamad, Mariana, Putthasorn, Noppadon, Muders, Senta V., Petney, David A. & Robbins, Richard G., 2019, Ticks (Argasidae, Ixodidae) and tick-borne diseases of continental Southeast Asia, pp. 1-89 in Zootaxa 4558 (1) on page 20, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4558.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/261312
