This embodies a summary of specimens collected from vertebrate hosts over three decades. 454 collections were performed over this period (408 from mammals and 46 from birds), representing a total of 5752 ticks in different developmental stages. Seven Haemaphysalis spp. were collected, identified, and inventoried including: H. (Kaiseriana) rugosa, H. (Ornithophysalis) hoodi, H. (Rhipistoma) houyi, as well as four other species belonging to the leachi group, namely H. (Rhipistoma) leachi, H. (Rh.) moreli, H. (Rh.) muhsamae and H. (Rh.) spinulosa. Vertebrate hosts of Haemaphysalis species were identified and listed in different ecological zones of Senegal. An identification key of the haemaphysalids of Senegal is proposed, which is also applicable to the haemaphysalid fauna of the Occidental sub-region of the Afrotropical zoogeographical region. The role of these species as potential vectors of zoonotic diseases in Senegal is also discussed. specialized ZOOGEOGRAPHIE TAXONOMIE HOTE VECTEUR ECOLOGIE ASSOCIATION D'ESPECES REPARTITION GEOGRAPHIQUE REGION AFROTROPICALE SENEGAL 052TIAC01 080ZOOGEN03 58 4 929-944 2018 0044-586X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010073911 10.24349/acarologia/20184297 0044-586X [F B010073911] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010073911 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers18-11/010073911.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2018-11-20 2023-07-11 fdi:010073911 fre
