Haemaphysalis intermedia, the flat-inner-spurred haemaphysalid, is a hard-bodied tick of the genus Haemaphysalis. It is found in India and Sri Lanka.[1] It is an obligate ectoparasite of mammals. It is a potential vector of Kyasanur Forest disease virus,[2] Ganjam virus, and Nairobi sheep disease virus.[3]

Parasitism

Adults parasitize various wild and domestic mammals. Ticks can be controlled by using cypermethrin.[4]
