Amblyomma neumanni Ribaga, 1902 View in CoL
It has been reported in Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay ( Guglielmone et al. 2003; Onofrio et al. 2006). The primary hosts of A. neumanni are domestic and wild ungulates, but dogs and humans are also often parasitized. It has been collected in Colombia from a horse located at “El Nus” Research Center, in the municipality of San Roque, Antioquia, at 840 m of altitude, 23 ℃ and 2000 mm annual precipitation. Two males and two females were reported in association with Anocentor nitens (Lopez Valencia and Parra Danilo 1985). This tick has also been spotted preying on chiguiros ( Hydrochoerus ) (Lopez 2017). New updates, geographic distribution, ecology and pathogenic role in humans are required.
