Amblyomma testudinarium is a hard-bodied tick of the genus Amblyomma. It is found in Indonesia, India , Japan , Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.[1] Adults parasitize various larger mammals such as buffalo and cattle, whereas nymphs and larvae use mostly larger and medium mammals.[2]
Records
In 2010, a 74-year-old Korean woman was attacked by the tick, which is the first human case of Amblyomma bite from Korea.[3] More human bites were recorded from Japan as well.[4] Apart from humans, it is a common ectoparasite of snakes. SFTS virus was detected from the tick larva.[5] In 1993, Rickettsia sp. strain AT-1T was isolated from the ticks from Japan.[6]
