Abstract

The t ick was found on the skin at the right occipital area in a 5-year-old girl, who had gone on a picnic twice to a mountain 1 and 5 days before she notic ed the tick. The tick was surgically removed. The tick was identified as an adult female of Haemaphysalis megaspinosa from its morphological character istics. This is the first report of tick bite by Haemaphysalis megaspinosa.
