These actions are necessary because these tortoises, which are regularly imported into the United States... have been found to harbor the tropical bont tick(Amblyomma variegatum), the African tortoise tick(Amblyomma marmoreum), and ticks of the species Amblyomma sparsum. All of these exotic ticks are known to be vectors of heartwater disease. Heartwater disease is an acute infectious disease of ruminants, including cattle, sheep, goats, white-tailed deer and antelope.
