In order to study the distribution of oribatid mites as intermediate hosts of horse tapeworm, soil samples were collected from 38 points of 24 horse pastures in Hidaka. As a result, 18 species belonging to twelve families and 1, 848 individuals of oribatid mites were found. The average number of species found in one sample was six. Seven of 12 families, Galumnidae, Scheloribatidae, Achipteriidae, Oribatulidae, Ceratozetidae, Camisiidae and Protoribatidae were widely distributed throughout Hidaka and are considered to be possible intermediate hosts of the horse tapeworm. The active season of oribatid mites is considered to be from summer to fall because a large number of them were found during the season. In the diurnal rhythm, a large number of oribatid mites adhered to the grass on the evening and early morning. Therefore, the highly possible infection time of the tapeworm may be from evening to early morning between summer and fall.
