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''.
