About Haemaphysalis longicornis

Haemaphysalis longicornis, the Asian longhorned tick, longhorned tick, bush tick, Asian tick, or cattle tick, is a parasitic arachnid belonging to the tick family Ixodidae. The Asian longhorned tick is a known livestock pest and can transmit a disease called theileriosis to cattle but not to humans.
