  abstract = {{T}he genetic structure of populations of the tick {A}mblyomma ovale from five distinct areas of the {B}razilian {A}tlantic rainforest was evaluated via {DNA} sequencing and associated with the presence of domestic dogs acting as hosts at the edge of forest fragments. {T}icks were collected from domestic dogs and from the environment between 2015 and 2017. {F}our collection areas were located in the surroundings and within the {S}erra do {M}ar {S}tate {P}ark, {SA}o {P}aulo {S}tate (23 degrees 3721"{S}, 45 degrees 2443"{W}), where dogs were bimonthly monitored along 2 years using camera traps and {GSM} trackers. {T}o determine the spatial limits of genetic structure, ticks collected upon dogs living near the {S}erra do {B}aturie, {C}eara {S}tate (4 degrees 1540"{S}, 38 degrees 5554"{W}) were included as well. {A} total of 39 haplotypes of 16{S} r{RNA} and {C}ox 1 mitochondrial genes sequences were observed, with 27 of them coming from areas within the {S}erra do {M}ar {S}tate {P}ark. {N}o haplotype was shared between the {S}erra do {M}ar and the {S}erra do {B}aturie indicating isolation of tick populations at the scale of 2000km. {A}lthough three different haplotype lineages of {A}. ovale occurred within the {S}erra do {M}ar {S}tate {P}ark, no genetic structure was found across the study sites within this park, suggesting high tick gene flow across a range of 45km. {M}onitoring data from domestic dogs and wild carnivores showed that these species share the same habitats at the forest edge, with dogs playing a likely limited role in tick dispersal. {O}ur findings have important implications for understanding the genetic structure of wide spread {A}. ovale along {B}razilian rainforest remnants, which can further be associated to tick-borne infectious agents, such as {R}ickettsia parkeri, and used for predicting future patterns of tick diversity in the {B}razilian {A}tlantic rainforest.},
