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.

This species can also be involved in the  transmission of  [[Theileria|''Theileria'']], [[Babesia|''Babesia  spp.'']] as well as  ''Anaplasma marginale''.
