Type host: Bos taurus Linnaeus, 1758 – Domestic cattle. Malaysian host: Bos taurus . Malaysian localities: Kota Bharu ( Kelantan ) Peninsular Malaysia ( Ferris 1933 , see Remarks); “West Malaysia ” ( Mustaffa-Babjee 1969 ). Geographical distribution: Cosmopolitan, in temperate, subtropical and tropical regions ( Durden & Musser 1994 ; Price & Graham 1997 ). Remarks: The adult male and female of Haematopinus eurysternus were redescribed and illustrated by Ferris (1933) . Roberts (1950) provided a morphological comparison and a dichotomous key to distinguish H. eurysternus from H. quadripertusus . Meleney & Kim (1974) revised the three morphologically close species that infest cattle: H. eurysternus , Haematopinus quadripertusus Fahrenholz, 1916 and Haematopinus tuberculatus ( Ferris 1933 ) . Durden & Musser (1994) stated that the distribution of Haematopinus eurysternus was in temperate zones, although several studies have recorded it in subtropical and tropical regions ( Rawat et al. 1992 ; Lasisi et al. 2010 ; Rony et al. 2010 ; Bilkis et al. 2011 ; Houssain et al. 2016 ; Al-Mayah & Hatem 2018 ; Mannan et al. 2019 ). Ferris (1933) recorded H. eurysternus from a “bull” and “calf” in “Kota Bharu, Kelantan , Malay Peninsula” but, considering that he regarded H. quadripertusus as a junior synonym under H. eurysternus , it is not possible to determine which species Ferris (1933) had actually examined. Pathogens previously detected in H. eurysternus include the zoonotic Coxiella burnetii and Rickettsia ( Reeves et al. 2006 ; Hornok et al. 2010 ).
