Haemaphysalis aciculifer Warburton, 1913 . An Afrotropical species whose adults are usually found on Artiodactyla : Bovidae ; larvae and nymphs are commonly recovered from Rodentia : Muridae . All parasitic stages have been collected from Artiodactyla : Bovidae , Carnivora : Viverridae , and Lagomorpha : Leporidae ; adults and larvae have been taken from Carnivora : Canidae and Herpestidae ; adults alone have been found on Artiodactyla : Suidae , and Carnivora : Felidae and Mustelidae ; while immature stages have also been recovered from Carnivora : Hyaenidae , Erinaceomorpha : Erinaceidae , Rodentia : Cricetidae , Galliformes : Phasianidae , and Passeriformes : Corvidae (Guglielmone et al. 2014, Horak et al. 2018 ). There are no records of Haemaphysalis aciculifer causing human parasitism.

The descriptions in Theiler (1945c) and Hoogstraal (1956a) are supported by Hoogstraal and El-Kammah (1972).
