description
Distrito Federal: Canis lupus familiaris, Reserva Ecológica del Pedregal de San Ángel (Pacheco-Coronel 2010). Tabasco: Canis lupus familiaris, Cárdenas, Centla, Villahermosa, May – June 2015 (Torres-Chable et al. 2017). Note: The record from the goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is most likely the result of a contamination because H. spiniger is a regular and natural parasite of canids and marsupials only (see Price et al. 2003).
