Abstract :We report the parasitism of a male of Amblyomma mixtum and a molt nymph-adult of Rhipicephalus microplus in Darién, Panamá. These data increase the number of tick species that parasitize free-living jaguars in Panama and add information on the environmental conditions that favor the parasitism of A. mixtum and R. microplus .
