Flavoblitus - Flavoblitus

A blood-sucking tick of the genus Ixodes in the order Ixodidae, class Arthropoda, and genus Ixodida. The dorsal plate is yellowish, and the body length of an unfed female is just under 3 mm, but when fully fed, it can reach 8 mm. It is active almost all year round throughout Japan, sucking the blood of all wild mammals on land and many wild birds. It has also been called the dog tick or dog tick. It is most commonly found on hares (rabbits), and transmits tularemia between hares in the Tohoku region, but humans are rarely bitten.

節足動物門クモ形綱ダニ目マダニ科チマダニ属の吸血性のダニ。背甲板は黄色みを帯び、未吸血雌の体長3ミリメートル弱、満腹すると8ミリメートルにも達する。日本各地でほぼ一年中活動しており、地上のあらゆる野生哺乳(ほにゅう)類や多くの野鳥を吸血する。イヌマダニまたはイヌチマダニとよばれたこともある。ノウサギ(野兎)にもっとも普通にみられ、東北地方のノウサギの間に野兎病を伝播(でんぱ)するが、ヒトが刺されることはきわめてまれである。
