Description
26. Hyalomma truncatum Koch, 1844a.
An Afrotropical species whose adults are usually found on Artiodactyla Bovidae; larvae and nymphs are commonly recovered from Lagomorpha: Leporidae, and Rodentia (several families). All parasitic stages have been collected from Mammalia (several orders); adults alone have been taken from Perissodactyla: Equidae; Accipitriformes: Accipitridae, Charadriiformes: Burhinidae, Struthioniformes: Struthionidae, and Testudines: Testudinidae; immature stages have been found on Aves (several orders), and Squamata: Chamaeleonidae (Guglielmone et al. 2014, Horak et al. 2018). Hyalomma truncatum is a sporadic parasite of humans.

Note: Sands et al. (2017a, b) presented molecular evidence to argue that at least two species are included under the name Hyalomma truncatum. See also Hyalomma albiparmatum and Hyalomma nitidum for a discussion of the difficulties involved in morphologically separating Hyalomma albiparmatum, Hyalomma nitidum and Hyalomma truncatum.
