Free-living Panthera onca (Carnivora: Felidae) as host of Amblyomma mixtum and Rhipicephalus microplus (Ixodidae: Ixodidae) in Darién, Panamá

Year 2020, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 51 - 53, 31.01.2020

Abstract

We report the parasitism
of a male of
Amblyomma mixtum and a
molt nymph-adult of
Rhipicephalus
microplus
in Darién, Panamá. These data increase the number of tick species
that parasitize free-living jaguars in Panama and add information on the
environmental conditions that favor the parasitism of
A. mixtum and R. microplus.
