Amblyomma auricularium (Ixodida: Ixodidae) in Florida: New Hosts and Distribution Records
Previous published evidence for the occurrence of an exotic armadillo tick, Amblyomma auricularium (Conil), in Florida is scant, but we found it is fully established and integrated into the state’s tick fauna. We collected 11,192 specimens of this tick from naturalized nine-banded armadillos, Dasypu...
