| description | An investigation was conducted on ixodid ticks that infested three herds of onehumped camels (Camelus dromedarius) in two separate areas of Kenya and one area of Southern Ethiopia. Species composition, attachment sites, sex ratio and seasonal incidence were described. The species observed were Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, R. evertsi evertsi, R. praetextatus1, R. pulchellus, R. pravus, Hyalomma dromedarii, H. marginatum rufipes, H. truncatum, Amblyomma gemma, A. lepidum and A. variegatum.
1 On-going scanning electronic microscopy investigations suggest that R. praetextatus may be instead R. muhsamae [information added at authors’ request in Jan. 2002; Editor’s note] |
