Abstract
Parasite-host and host-parasite checklists are provided for all species of Ixodes known from Mexico; host and locality data are from specimens housed in the Colección Nacional de Ácaros, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and from literature. Six Ixodes species (I. brunneus, I. conepati, I. dentatus, I. eadsi, I. guatemalensis, I. texanus) are newly recorded from Mexico; in addition, 17 new locality records are presented for eight species (I. affinis, I. boliviensis, I. luciae, I. rubidus, I. scapularis, I. spinipalpis, I. tancitarius, I. woodi), and eight new host records are given for five species (I. affinis, I. boliviensis, I. rubidus, I. spinipalpis, I. tancitarius).References
