Significant scientific information about ticks of the Southern Cone of America (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay) has been obtained through time, but no publication condensing this achievement is available.

Ticks (Acari: Ixodida) are becoming increasingly relevant as a sanitary problem for human, domestic, and wild animals worldwide. Significant scientific information about ticks of the Southern Cone of America (Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay) has been obtained through time, but no publication condensing this achievement is available. We have undertaken the task to collect the relevant data for diagnosis, distribution, and hosts with comments on taxonomy, ecology, and sanitary problems for each species of tick of the two families (Argasidae and Ixodidae) established in the Southern Cone of America believing that our summary will be of value for people interested in ticks and tick-borne diseases. Data for all species treated here were obtained from a search of the world tick literature that concluded on March 31, 2016
