Contributions to the knowledge of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) in Colombia [PDF]
Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2018 The known tick fauna of Colombia includes 58 species (15 Argasidae and 43 Ixodidae). To add to the knowledge of the biology of ticks in Colombia, hard ticks (Ixodidae) were collected from domestic animals or vegetation during 2014-2016 in 10 of Colombia's Departments. Ticks were identified to species through morphological examinations.
