Abstract: Objective To review the species and geographical distribution of ecto-parasitic ticks of rodents in China, and to lay a foundation for research on tick-borne diseases. Methods Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, CNKI, and VIP Chinese Journal Service Platform were searched using "rodent, tick","rat, tick" and "otter, tick" (in Chinese) as subject headings, and the PubMed Search System was searched using "China, tick","Taiwan, tick","Hongkong, tick" and "Macao, tick" as subject headings. Results A total of 67 species of ecto-parasitic ticks of rodents, which belonged to 10 genera and 2 families, were reported in China. The data showed that Niviventer confucianus had the most species (18 species) of ecto-parasitic ticks, and Ixodes granulatus had the most species (19 species) of rodent hosts. The ecto-parasitic ticks of rodents were reported in all provinces (autonomous regions and centrally administered municipalities) of China, except for Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, and Macao. Thirty-eight species of parasitic ticks were reported in North China, particularly in Xinjiang (26 species). Forty-three species of parasitic ticks were reported in South China, particularly in Fujian (19 species). Haemaphysalis longicornis was the most widely distributed parasitic ticks in China, reported in 20 provinces. Conclusion In China, there are various widely distributed ecto-parasitic ticks of various rodent hosts, which act as a reservoir for pathogens of natural focus diseases.

摘要： 目的 回顾了解中国啮齿目动物体表寄生蜱的种类和地理分布，为蜱传疾病研究奠定基础。方法 在万方数据知识服务平台、中国知网和维普中文期刊服务平台以"啮齿动物、蜱"，"鼠、蜱"和"獭、蜱"为主题词，在PubMed医学文献检索系统中以"China、tick"，"Taiwan、tick"，"Hongkong、tick"，和"Macao、tick"主题词为检索策略搜集文献。结果 目前中国有报道的啮齿目动物体表寄生蜱共2科10属67种。北社鼠体表的寄生蜱种类最多（18种），粒形硬蜱的啮齿目动物宿主种类最多（19种）。除天津、上海和重庆市及澳门地区未发现明确报道外，全国各省（自治区、直辖市）均有啮齿目动物体表寄生蜱分布。北方报道寄生蜱38种，种类最多的是新疆维吾尔自治区（26种）。南方报道寄生蜱43种，种类最多的是福建省（19种）。全国分布最广泛的寄生蜱种是长角血蜱，在20个省份均有分布。结论 我国啮齿动物体表寄生蜱种类繁多、宿主多样，分布广泛，有利于某些啮齿动物作为宿主的自然疫源性疾病病原的贮存。
