AUTINO, Analía G. et al. Presence of Ixodes luciae in Argentina northwest and new hosts for Ixodes pararicinus and some species of Amblyomma (Acari: Ixodidae). Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2006, vol.65, n.1-2, pp.27-32. ISSN 0373-5680.

The analysis of a tick collection of mammals from northwestern Argentina deposited in the Annexes (ACML) of Colección Mamíferos Lillo (CML) National University of Tucumán, amplified the distribution of Ixodes luciae Sénevet, to Salta and Tucumán provinces and increased the host range to the sigmodontinae rodent Calomys callosus (Rengger) and the Didelphidae Micoureus constantiae (Thomas), Thylamys cinderella Thomas and Thylamys venustus (Thomas). Calomys callosus and Oligoryzomys destructor (Tschudi) were registered as new hosts of Ixodes pararicinus Keirans & Clifford, and the Carnivora Lycalopex gymnocercus (Fischer) and Oncifelis geoffroyi (d´Orbigny & Gervais) as new hosts of Amblyomma neumanni Ribaga, and Amblyomma parvum Aragão, respectively . Lutreolina crassicaudata (Desmarest) (Didelphidae) was also found infested with I. luciae while Amblyomma tigrinum Koch was detected on L. gymnocercus . Nymphs of Amblyomma sp. were found on Akodon Meyen. (Sigmodontinae).
