Abstract

Ambylomma [A. sabanerae, A. cajennense, A. dissimile, A. rotundatum] ticks and a Placobdella sp. leech were found in association with the turtle genus Callopsis [C. annulata, C. areolata, C. funerea, C. pulcherrima, C. punctularia, C. rubida]. New host records are listed. Differences between attachment sites of the various tick life stages exist, and the ecological significance of these are discussed.
