  • Title: Ecological aspects of cattle tick control in central Zambia.
    Author: Pegram RG, Lemche J, Chizyuka HG, Sutherst RW, Floyd RB, Kerr JD, McCosker PJ.
    Journal: Med Vet Entomol; 1989 Jul; 3(3):307-12. PubMed ID: 2519677.
    Abstract:
    In ecological studies in central Zambia, both climate and ecotype affected population dynamics of tick species. Below average rainfall for several years caused a suppression in numbers of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neumann adults. Reduction in rainfall leading to changes in grazing patterns is thought to have been responsible for an increase in numbers of Amblyomma variegatum Fabricius adults in a grassland habitat. There were reasonable correlations between numbers of each tick species on individual hosts over 1 year old. However, there were no relationships between numbers of ticks and bovine lymphocyte antigens (BoLA).
