The present study is the first report on ticks infesting domestic animals of the tribal communities and wildlife in Aralam Wildlife Sanctuary, Kerala, India. Questing ticks in the sanctuary were collected through dragging methods and hand collection from domestic animals was used to collect feeding ticks. Among the total 3,081 ticks collected, 2,350 questing ticks were obtained from the forest floor, and 731 ticks were recorded from 40 different domestic animals belonging to four species. The present collection recorded eight  Haemaphysalis species: Ha. spinigera ,  Ha. leachii ,  Ha. shimoga ,  Ha. kinneari ,  Ha. kyasanurensis ,  Ha. turturis ,  Ha. bispinosa ,  Ha. intermedia  and one  Amblyomma  species:  Am. integrum  from the sanctuary. Whereas five  Haemaphysalis  species:  Ha. bispinosa ,  Ha. intermedia ,  Ha. shimoga ,  Ha. spinigera ,  Ha. turturis  and four  Rhipicephalus  species:  Rh. sanguineus ,  Rh. haemaphysaloides ,  Rh. microplus  and  Rh. annulatus  were reported from domestic animals. High abundance of Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) vectors,  Ha. spinigera  and  Ha. turturis  have been documented from the sanctuary. Relative abundance of  Ha. bispinosa  was significantly higher in all the domestic animals examined. Tick infestation rate was higher in goats followed by cows, dogs, and cats. Whereas the species richness of ticks was highest in cows and lowest in cats.
