''Amblyomma maculatum'' is a species of tick in the genus ''Amblyomma''. Immatures usually infest small mammals and birds that dwell on the ground; cotton rats may be particularly favored hosts.〔Clark et al., 2001, pp. 1383–1384〕 Some recorded hosts include: *''Geothlypis trichas''〔 *''Cardinalis cardinalis''〔Wilson and Durden, 2003, table 1〕 *''Passerina ciris''〔 *''Sialia sialis''〔 *''Thryothorus ludovicianus''〔 *''Troglodytes aedon''〔 *''Zonotrichia albicollis''〔 *Dog (''Canis lupus familiaris'')〔 *''Dama dama''〔Wilson and Durden, 2003, table 5〕 *Human (''Homo sapiens'')〔Wilson and Durden, 2003, table 2〕 *Eastern woodrat (''Neotoma floridana'')〔Clark et al., 2001, table III〕 *''Odocoileus virginianus''〔 *Marsh rice rat (''Oryzomys palustris'')〔Clark et al., 2001, p. 1381〕 *Cotton mouse (''Peromyscus gossypinus'')〔Clark et al., 2001, table II〕 *Hispid cotton rat (''Sigmodon hispidus'')〔Clark et al., 2001, table IV〕 *Pig (''Sus scrofa'')〔 *''Sylvilagus palustris''〔Wilson and Durden, 2003, table 4〕 In 2013, the infectious agent of American tick bite fever, ''Rickettsia parkeri'' was detected in a female ''A. maculatum'' collected at Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, near Smyrna, Delaware, providing the first evidence of association of this pathogen of humans with this species of tick in the state.〔David A.
