Annotated list of ticks (Acari: Ixodidae, Argasidae) reported in Peru: distribution, hosts, and bibliography.
A literature review and compilation of the tick specimens found in Peru and now held in the National Tick Collection was carried out to develop a working list of the tick species likely to be found in Peru. Evidence of 44 species (29 Ixodidae, 15 Argasidae), was found; representatives of 40 species are held as reference specimens. This report adds 14 species to the previously published list.
