The genus Haemaphysalis Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae) is the second-largest genus, with more than 170 described species that primarily parasitize mammals and birds (Guglielmone et al. 2014, Guglielmone et al. 2020). Haemaphysalis species are three-host ticks, mainly distributed in southern and southeastern Asia and tropical Africa (Guglielmone et al. 2014). The present study identified a tick, Haemaphysalis hoodi Warburton & Nuttall, 1909, collected from a human in Yaoundé, Cameroon. This tick species feed on birds in sub-Saharan Africa. To the best of our knowledge, this is the second record of H. hoodi from humans. In addition, 16S ribosomal RNA and cytochrome oxidase I sequences were generated for this species for the first time. Screening pan-Rickettsia-PCR infection gave a negative result.
血蜱属 Haemaphysalis Koch, 1844（蜱螨目：硬蜱科）是第二大属，有超过 170 种已描述的物种，主要寄生在哺乳动物和鸟类身上（Guglielmone 等人，2014 年；Guglielmone 等人，2020 年）。血蜱属物种是三宿主蜱，主要分布在南亚和东南亚以及热带非洲（Guglielmone 等人，2014 年）。本研究从喀麦隆雅温得的一名人类身上鉴定出一种 tick，Haemaphysalis hoodi Warburton & Nuttall, 1909。这种 tick 物种以撒哈拉以南非洲的鸟类为食。据我们所知，这是人类第二次记录到 H. hoodi。此外，这是首次为该物种生成 16S 核糖体 RNA 和细胞色素氧化酶 I 序列。针对 pan-Rickettsia-PCR 的感染筛查结果为阴性。
