Ornithodoros (Alectorobius) puertoricensis View in CoL
This tick was first identified from rats in Puerto Rico ( Fox 1947). Kohls et al. (1965) recorded O. (A.) puertoricensis from the spiny rat ( Proechimys guyanensis trinitatus ) from Cumaca, Trinidad. A redescription by scanning electron microscope of O. (A.) puertoricensis was done by Endris et al (1989). They also reported host records for larvae of O. (A.) puertoricensis from rodents ( Proechimys guyanensis trinitatus and Nectomys squamipes ) in Trinidad.
Distribution: Colombia, Jamaica, Panama, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guadeloupe, Nicaragua, Surinam, Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, St. Croix, Venezuela ( Cruz 2001).
