Adult stages of development parasitize on various species of wild mammals, from tapir and deer to agouti and pack . In Panama, ticks are commonly found on livestock and dogs. Unlike Amblyomma cajennense , these ticks apparently prefer virgin biotopes within their range. This is a common, and in some countries (Belize and Panama ) abundant species. Adults and nymphs can attach to humans .
The species was first described in 1844 by the German entomologist and arachologist Carl Ludwig Koch ( Carl Ludwig Koch , 1788-1857) [1] [2] [3] .
