Ticks are one of the arthropods that play an important role in the transmission of numerous pathogens to livestock and humans. We investigated the presence of tick‐borne bacteria in 23Amblyomma varanensethat fed on a water monitor (Varanus salvator) in Indonesia.Anaplasmataceaeand borreliae were detected by PCR in 17.4% and 95.7% of ticks, respectively. “CandidatusRickettsia sepangensis”, spotted fever group ofRickettsia, was detected in 21.7% of ticks. The water monitor is a common reptile that is widely encountered in city areas in Asian countries. Our results suggested thatAm. varanenseon water monitor in Indonesia harbored several kinds of bacteria.
