Between May and June 2015, 512 bats, six rodents, and six tree-shrews were examined for ectoparasites in Vientiane and Khammouane Provinces, Laos. Thirty-seven ticks (33 females and four males) identified as Ixodes granulatus Supino were collected from four individuals of the Northern tree-shrew, Tupaia belangeri (Wagner) (Scandentia:Tupaiidae), and one female of Ixodes vespertilionis Koch was collected from one individual of the Intermediate Leaf-nosed Bat, Hipposideros larvatus (Horsfield) (Chiroptera:Hipposideridae). This appears to be the first record of I. vespertilionis from Laos, as well as the first record of this host-parasite relationship in the Southeast Asia region.
2015年5月至6月期间,在老挝万象省和甘蒙省对512只蝙蝠、6只啮齿动物和6只树鼩进行了体外寄生虫检查。从4只北树鼩(Tupaia belangeri (Wagner),树鼩目:树鼩科)身上采集到37只蜱(33只雌蜱和4只雄蜱),鉴定为粒形硬蜱(Ixodes granulatus Supino),并从1只中蹄蝠(Hipposideros larvatus (Horsfield),翼手目:蹄蝠科)身上采集到1只雌性库氏鼠耳蝠蜱(Ixodes vespertilionis Koch)。这似乎是老挝库氏鼠耳蝠蜱的首次记录,也是东南亚地区这种宿主 - 寄生虫关系的首次记录。
