Abstract

Abstract Amblyomma varanense (Supino) (Ixodida: Ixodidae) is a reptile-associated bont tick native to the Oriental and Australasian zoogeographic regions. This species is primarily ectoparasitic on monitor lizards (Varanidae) and snakes but has been reported to occasionally occur on turtles and mammals. Prior to the research described here, only one collection of A. varanense had been reported from the Philippines. Herein, we present a second Philippines collection of A. varanense as well as updated host records across this tick's geographic range and an overview of associated microbes with zoonotic potential.

亚洲巨蜥蜱Amblyomma varanense（Supino，1897）的宿主协会（Ixodida：Ixodidae），菲律宾有一个新的宿主记录

摘要瓦兰氏钝蜱(Amblyomma varanense, Supino)(蜱目:蜱科)是一种原产于东方和澳大利亚动物地理区域的爬行类联属蜱。该物种主要寄生于巨蜥(蜥科)和蛇身上，但据报道偶尔也会出现在海龟和哺乳动物身上。在此研究之前，菲律宾仅报道过一株瓦拉嫩刺虫。在此，我们提出了第二个菲律宾收集的瓦拉南扁虱，以及更新的宿主记录，跨越该蜱的地理范围，并概述了与人畜共患潜力相关的微生物。

期刊介绍： Systematic and Applied Acarology (SAA) is an international journal of the Systematic and Applied Acarology Society (SAAS). The journal is intended as a publication outlet for all acarologists in the world. There is no page charge for publishing in SAA. If the authors have funds to publish, they can pay US$20 per page to enable their papers published for open access. SAA publishes papers reporting results of original research on any aspects of mites and ticks. Due to the recent increase in submissions, SAA editors will be more selective in manuscript evaluation: (1) encouraging more high quality non-taxonomic papers to address the balance between taxonomic and non-taxonomic papers, and (2) discouraging single species description (see new special issues for single new species description) while giving priority to high quality systematic papers on comparative treatments and revisions of multiple taxa. In addition to review papers and research articles (over 4 printed pages), we welcome short correspondence (up to 4 printed pages) for condensed version of short papers, comments on other papers, data papers (with one table or figure) and short reviews or opinion pieces. The correspondence format will save space by omitting the abstract, key words, and major headings such as Introduction.
