Abstrakt: A preliminary faunistic study was conducted explored the ectoparasites of animals in the Neora Valley National Park (NVNP), West Bengal, India. Many ectoparasites were observed on the bodies of domestic animals that graze on a regular basis in the national park. Major ones found include-Bovicola bovis (Linnaeus, 1758), Ixodes granulatus Supino 1897, and Dermacentor auratus Supino 1897, with B. bovis perhaps being reported for the first time in NVNP and India. The study also found that domestic animals and humans in NVNP are exposed to different ectoparasite species of medical and veterinary importance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
