Amblyomma gervaisi is a hard-bodied tick of the genus Amblyomma.[1] The tick is a parasite of snakes, such as Naja naja, Python molurus species and monitor species such as Varanus ocellatus, Varanus yemenensis, Varanus benghalensis, Varanus griseus and many other Varanus species in southeastern Asia and Asia-minor.[2] They exhibit sexual dimorphism.[3] They can be found in Sri Lanka, India , Yemen, Saudi Arabia.[4] It is a potential vector for Coxiella burnetii.[5]
