Amblyomma babirussae Schulze, 1933d . An Australasian species, all of whose parasitic stages have been found on Artiodactyla : Bovidae and Suidae , and rarely on Rodentia : Muridae , but adults and nymphs are usually found on Artiodactyla : Bovidae , Cervidae and Suidae . 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. M: Schulze (1933d) F: Schulze (1933d) N: Schulze (1933d) L: Keirans and Robbins (1987) Redescriptions M: Anastos (1950) , Keirans and Robbins (1987) , Voltzit and Keirans (2002) F: Anastos (1950) , Keirans and Robbins (1987) , Voltzit and Keirans (2002) N: Keirans and Robbins (1987) , Voltzit and Keirans (2002) L: none 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 .
