Nymphs and adult ticks have also been collected from Perissodactyla : Equidae , and nymphs alone from Carnivora : Viverridae . Amblyomma babirussae is a sporadic parasite of humans.

Note: Camicas et al. (1998) treat Amblyomma babirussae as an Australasian and Oriental species, but Guglielmone et al. (2014) state that all bona fide records of this tick are from Australasian localities. Cornet et al. (2009) allegedly found this tick in Thailand (Oriental Zoogeographic Region), but Petney et al. (2019) state that this record requires confirmation, a criterion also followed here. Anastos (1950) and Kohls (1957a, c) noted that the description of the female of Amblyomma breviscutatum (named as Amblyomma cyprium ) in Krijgsman and Ponto (1932) corresponds in fact to Amblyomma babirussae .
