KREBBER MOGOLLON, Héctor Rolf; MESTRA PINEDA, Alberto; HERRERA BENAVIDES, Yonairo Manuel  y  CAUSIL VARGAS, Luis. Amblyomma dissimile in Boa constrictor in captivity at the Wildlife Attention and Valuation Center in Montería (Córdoba, Colombia). Rev. Med. Vet. [online]. 2017, n.35, pp.29-34. ISSN 0122-9354.  https://doi.org/10.19052/mv.4386.

This study aimed to identify ticks removed from specimens of Boa constrictor taken to the Wildlife Attention and Valuation Center (CAV) in Montería (Córdoba, Colombia). To this effect, a total of 199 ticks were obtained from 27 snake specimens. The ectoparasites were preserved in 70% alcohol and later identified using various taxonomic codes. 100% of the ticks were identified as Amblyomma dissimile, 58.4% of which were males and 41.6% females. The study was able to evidence that the tick of greatest prevalence in Boa constrictor is Amblyomma dissimile as an ectoparasite of this reptile.

Palabras clave : ticks; identification; reptile; prevalence.
