GONZALEZ-ACUNA, D et al. New hosts for the ticks Amblyomma tigrinum and Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Chile . Arch. med. vet. [online]. 2006, vol.38, n.3, pp. 273-275. ISSN 0301-732X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0301-732X2006000300012.

For the first time in Chile, cases of nymphs of the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) being found on two goats (Capra hircus), and adult (one male and a gravid female) white stripped ticks (Amblyomma tigrinum) being found on cattle (Bos taurus) have been reported. The aim of this review is to discuss the importance of these findings.
