There  are two subspecies known, ''H. anatolicum excavatum'' that is found in  central Europe and Asia and ''H. anatolicum anatolicum'' which can be  found throughout the rest of the range. These ticks cause tick toxicosis  in Africa which is a sweating sickness seen in pigs and ruminants. This  is accompanied by a profuse moist eczema and hyperaemia of the mucous  membranes. This species can also be involved in the transmission of  [[Theileria|''Theileria'']], [[Babesia|''Babesia spp.'']] as well as  ''Anaplasma marginale''.
