Known and potential ticks and tick-borne pathogens of Micronesia Author Velde, Nancy Vander Velde And Brian Vander Author O., P. nancyv @ ntamar. net nancyv@ntamar.net text Micronesica 2013 2013 1 1 26 journal article 299044 10.5281/zenodo.12117350 88b107e9-e7b3-44a7-b88f-d50d1f124259 0026-279X 12117350 Ixodes ornithorhynchi Lucus, 1846 Kohls (1957) discounted the platypus tick, Ixodes ornithorhynchi , for Micronesia , and that seems correct. The 1899 report was from “Isle Marianne” ( Rainbow 1906 ). If not referring to the Mariana Islands , but to the Australian island “Mary Anne,” it is still problematic because that island does not have the habitat for its host either. It would be interesting to re-examine the collected specimen to determine what actually was found. This tick is not included in the listing of Table 1 .
