| Abstract | This study aimed to identify ticks removed from specimens of Boa constrictor taken to the Wildlife Attention and Valuation Center (CAV) in Monteria (Cordoba, 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. |
