Ixodes holocyclus
''Ixodes holocyclus'', commonly known as the Australian paralysis tick, is one of about 75 species of Australian tick fauna and is considered the most medically important. It can cause paralysis by injecting neurotoxins into its host. It is usually found in a 20-kilometre wide band following the eastern coastline of Australia. Within this range ''Ixodes holocyclus'' is the tick most frequently encountered by humans and their pets. As this area also contains the majority of Australia's most densely populated regions, incidents of bites on people, pets and livestock are relatively common.
Paralysis ticks are found in many types of habitat particularly areas of high rainfall such as wet sclerophyll forest and temperate rainforest.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ticks )〕 The natural hosts for the paralysis tick include koalas,〔http://www.tickalert.org.au/ntivefna.htm Tick poisoning in native Australian fauna〕 bandicoots, possums and kangaroos.〔
