Abstract
Haemaphysalis leporispalustris is a hard tick species that have been recorded mainly parasitizing rabbits and birds across the Nearctic and Neotropical regions. Particularly in Mexico, most of the records come from historical collection journeys from before the 1960s. In this paper, we bring new geographical records for this species in Mexico to provide the first genetic data in the country through the amplification of the 16S, COI, and 18S genes, and the detection of a rickettsial agent as well.Entities:
