Ticks on an eel?
Kaylin's recent publication draws attention to natural history museum collections
From Entomology Today: "An electric eel donated to the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University in 1873 had two ticks embedded in its skin, making it the first known instance of ticks parasitizing a fish. But it was never documented until now, more than 150 years later, when Kaylin Chong, a doctoral student at the museum, chanced upon the specimen, identified the ticks, and reported the case in the Journal of Medical Entomology."
