Redescription of Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) elliptica (Koch, 1844), an old taxon of the Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) leachi group from East and southern Africa, and of Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) leachi (Audouin, 1826) (Ixodida, Ixodidae).

Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) eupleres (Ixodoidea: Ixodidae), a parasite of the Madagascar falanouc (mongoose): new data and male identity.

Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) eupleres Hoogstraal, Kohls and Trapido 1965, was described and partially illustrated from a single damaged female from the falanouc, or small-toothed mongoose, Eupleres sp., from an unstated locality in Madagascar. Data are here presented for two collections (9 males, 17 females) from two localities in Tamatave Province, one from E. goudotii Doyère, the other from an ...

Resistance of dogs to Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Haemaphysalis leachi leachi

It has been shown experimentally from three repeated infestations that dogs were unable to develop effective resistance against dog ticks: rhipicephalus sanguineus Latreille, 1806 and haemaphysalis leachi leachi Audouin, 1826. The number of successive engorged females recovered from dogs at the second and third infestations in both species were not significantly less (P>0.05) than the number re...

Effect of Water Flooding on the Oviposition Capacity of Engorged Adult Females and Hatchability of Eggs of Dog Ticks: Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Haemaphysalis leachi leachi

Effects of water flooding on the oviposition capacity of engorged adult females and hatchability of eggs of Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Haemaphysalis leachi leachi under laboratory conditions were investigated. The durations of time of water flooding were 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours. Engorged females of R. sanguineus and H. leachi leachi did not oviposit after being flooded f...

Parasites of domestic and wild animals in South Africa. XXXVIII. Ixodid ticks collected from 23 wild carnivore species.

Ixodid ticks were collected from 104 wild carnivores belonging to 23 species in various nature reserves and on several farms in all nine provinces of South Africa. Seven feral cats in a nature reserve were also examined. Twenty-four tick species belonging to seven genera were recovered and identified. Amongst these ticks we consider the adults of Haemaphysalis leachi, Haemaphysalis spinulosa, H...
