Amblyomma sabanerae Stoll 1894

Description

110. Amblyomma sabanerae Stoll, 1894.

A Neotropical species whose adults are usually found on Testudines: Geoemydidae, while larvae and nymphs have also mostly been collected from Geoemydidae, although immature stages have been taken from several other hosts listed below. Additionally, all parasitic stages have been found on Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae (adult ticks rarely). Adults and nymphs have been recovered from Testudines: Kinosternidae; adult ticks alone have been taken from Testudines: Emydidae, and Squamata: Boidae and Iguanidae; immature stages have been collected from Carnivora: Procyonidae, Rodentia: Cricetidae and Echimyidae, Columbiformes: Columbidae, Passeriformes (several families), and Anura: Bufonidae (Fairchild et al. 1966, Ogrzewalska et al. 2015, Esser et al. 2016 a, Miller et al. 2016, Bermúdez et al. 2018, Guglielmone & Robbins 2018). Amblyomma sabanerae is a very rare parasite of humans.
