Abstract
Adults of the ixodid ticks Haemaphysalis asiatica and Rhipicephalus haemaphysaloides and nymphs of an undetermined species of Amblyomma are reported from a Laotian specimen of the Asian golden cat, Catopuma temminckii, and an adult of Ixodes ovatus is reported from a Laotian specimen of Owston's palm civet, Chrotogale owstoni. These are the first published records of any ticks from either carnivore and the first record of I. ovatus from the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
