Introduction
Sumatran
rhinoceros
(Dicerorhiflus
sumafrensis)is highly protected species lived
in Way Kambas National Park, as wild and in
sanctuary.
Disease

including
ectoparasite could threated the exl~tenceof

these animals. The ectoparasite data especially lxodid ticks-at Sumatran rhinoceros
hasn't researched yet comprehensively. A
study of lxodid ticks on sumatran rhino
became an important thing related 10 its role as
a vector of various diseases. The study has
revealed 2 species from a different genus.

Conclusion
The lxodid ticks were considered as
vector that transmits blood protozoa diseases
to Sumatran rhinoceros in SRS.

inside the SRS paddock areas were identified
about 80.70°/D and 19.30% as H. hystricis and
A. tesfudjnarium, respectively. Whereas, there
were 30.68% H. hystricis and 69.32% A.

collected from outside the areas. In the Sane

marginale (227 % in each rhinoceros);
Anaplasma cenirale (210 % in each

rhinoceros). Homer et al. (2000) was found
