Abstract
Our knowledge of the species of ticks present in Southeast Asia is good, particularly due to the vast amount of work from the 1960s to the 1980s by Hoogstraal and colleagues. Unfortunately, this knowledge is scattered throughout the specialist literature, and there is currently no synopsis available. In addition, our knowledge of the tick fauna of several countries, for example Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, is very limited.
