This tick is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guiana, French Guiana, Guyana, Surinam, Perú, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela ( Onofrio et al. 2006). It has been found on birds, lizards, opossums, anteaters, yellow-footed tortoise ( Geochelone denticulate ), rodents ( Oryzomys capito and Proechimys guyannensis ) and dogs ( Labruna et al. 2002). Usually, the hosts for adults of A. humerale are reptiles of the order Testudines , but mammals such as dogs have also been found parasitized by immature stages ( Barros-Battesti et al. 2006; Onofrio et al. 2006). In Colombia, it has been reported on turtles (Helonoides testiculata) ( Wramc 1998; Lopez 2017). New updates, geographic distribution, ecology, and pathogenic role in humans are required.
