Reported in Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Guiana, south of Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Surinam, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela ( Onofrio et al. 2006). This tick parasitizes different types of hosts during its adult stage, being predominant in carnivorous animals. The immature stages mainly infest Didelphimorphia rodents ( Onofrio et al. 2006). In Colombia it has been previously reported in dogs by Lopez in the municipality of San Roque (Antioquia) (Lopez Valencia and Parra Danilo 1985). There have been recent reports from Ibague and Saldaña, Department of Tolima, from C. lupus familiaris ( Rivera-Paez et al. 2018a). It has recently been described as a vector of Candidatus R. andeanae in ticks collected in C. lupus familiaris in Ibague-Tolima ( Rivera-Paez et al. 2018b).
