  • Title: Distribution of Boophilus species ticks in Swaziland.
    Author: Wedderburn PA, Jagger TD, McCartan B, Hunter AG.
    Journal: Trop Anim Health Prod; 1991 Aug; 23(3):167-71. PubMed ID: 1763439.
    Abstract:
    Recent outbreaks of bovine babesiosis caused by Babesia bovis in Swaziland had indicated the presence of the vector tick Boophilus microplus in the country although it had never before been directly identified. Engorged female Boophilus ticks were collected from cattle at diptanks in the course of a tick resistance survey and used to map the distribution of the two different species of Boophilus. B. decoloratus was found to be widespread throughout the country. B. microplus was identified for the first time in Swaziland and was found to have a patchy distribution. The implications of these findings are discussed.
