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 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]
