Life cycle

The species is predominantly parthenogenetic; a two-host cycle was observed under laboratory conditions and must not be assumed universal in nature.

Males are extremely rare, although a male has been described.

Life stages

Egg
Larva
Nymph
Adult

Seasonal activity

No seasonality was detected at one semi-arid Caatinga study site on Rhinella jimi; this local result must not be generalized across the range.

Medical and veterinary relevance

Tick paralysis was reported in one southern black racer in Florida; this is a case report, not an incidence estimate.
