Background  Species of the genus  Borrelia  are causative agents of Lyme disease and relapsing fever. Lyme disease is the most commonly reported vector-borne disease in the northern hemisphere. However, in some parts of the world Lyme borreliosis and relapsing fever may be caused by novel  Borrelia  genotypes. Herein, we report the presence of a  Borrelia  sp. in an  Amblyomma varanense  collected from  Python reticulatus .    Methods  Ticks were collected from snakes, identified to species level and examined by PCR for the presence of  Borrelia  spp . flaB  and  16S  rRNA genes .  Phylogenetic trees were constructed using the neighbour-joining method.    Results  Three  A. varanense  ticks collected from  P. reticulatus  were positive for a unique  Borrelia  sp., which was phylogenetically divergent from both Lyme disease- and relapsing fever-associated  Borrelia  spp.    Conclusion  The results of this study suggest for the first time that there is a  Borrelia  sp. in  A. varanense  tick in the snake  P. reticulatus  that might be novel.
