  • Title: The seasonal activity of adult ixodid ticks on Angora goats in the south western Orange Free State.
    Author: Fourie LJ, Horak IG.
    Journal: J S Afr Vet Assoc; 1991 Sep; 62(3):104-6. PubMed ID: 1770478.
    Abstract:
    Adult ixodid ticks were collected at 2-weekly intervals for a period of 23 consecutive months from 15 to 20 Angora goats on a farm in the south western Orange Free State. A total of 6 ixodid tick species were recovered. Rhipicephalus punctatus was the most abundant and prevalent tick. It was present from spring to late summer. Ixodes rubicundus was the next most abundant tick and was present mainly from March or April to July with peak numbers present in April or May. The onset of this tick's activity appeared to be stimulated by low atmospheric temperatures.
