An Afrotropical species whose adults and nymphs are usually found on Squamata : Boidae , but all parasitic stages, including the undescribed larva, have been collected from Boidae ; nymphs have also been recovered from Artiodactyla : Bovidae . There are no records of Amblyomma transversale causing human parasitism.

F: Lucas (1845), under the name Ixodes transversalis

N: Lucas (1860), under the name Ixodes globulus , a synonym of Amblyomma transversale , as explained in Theiler (1945b)
