Amblyomma longirostre View in CoL
Nuttall et al. (1926) recorded this tick from Trinidad. Aitken et al. (1968a and 1969) recorded A. longirostre during their survey of arthropods for natural virus infection and its immature stages frequently parasitized birds. Everard and Tikasingh (1973) found this tick on rodents ( Oryzomys capito and Proechimys guyannensis ) from Turure Forest. Smith (1974) recorded A. longirostre in Trinidad from small wild animals. Nava et al. (2007b) also indicated the presence of tick A. longirostre in Trinidad. Voltzit (2007) mentioned that in 1955 T.H.G. Aitken collected 2 males and a female A. longirostre respectively from porcupines ( Coendou prehensilis ) and birds ( Turdus nudigensis ) at Sangre Grande, Trinidad.
Distribution: ranges from Mexico to Argentina ( Voltzit 2007; Nava et al. 2010)
