Other recorded hosts include the sigmodontine rodents Scapteromys aquaticus, Akodon azarae, Oligoryzomys flavescens, and Holochilus brasiliensis in ArgentinaNava et al., 2003, table 1 and Oryzomys couesi and Handleyomys melanotis in Mexico.Estébanes-González et al., 2011, table 1 In Venezuela, it mainly infects the oryzomyines Holochilus sciureus and Nectomys, but it has also been recorded on a variety of other mammals and even on a bird.Furman, 1972, p. 23 A separate subspecies, Laelaps manguinhosi calvescens, has been described from the ichthyomyine rodent Neusticomys venezuelae.Furman, 1972, p. 24
