Ixodes boliviensis Neumann, 1904 View in CoL
Originally categorized from a male, female and nymph collected from a bush dog Speothus venaticus in Bolivia ( Neumann 1904). Subsequently, this tick has been reported parasitizing several species of mammals, especially carnivora, in locations ranging from southern Mexico to Bolivia and Peru (Guglielmone 2004; Onofrio et al. 2006; Troyo et al. 2014). It also parasites birds, deer, squirrels, horses and humans ( Guzmán-Cornejo and Robbins 2010). This species is commonly found in mountainous areas, at altitudes varying from 800 to 2500 m a.s.l. ( Bermudez et al. 2015a). In Colombia, this species was collected from D. marsupialis in Muzo, Boyacá department, by J. Boshell M ( Osorno-Mesa 1942) and from C. l. familiaris (Lopez 2017) .
