  • Title: A survey of Karoo tick paralysis in South Africa.
    Author: Spickett AM, Heyne H.
    Journal: Onderstepoort J Vet Res; 1988 Jun; 55(2):89-92. PubMed ID: 3393373.
    Abstract:
    Recent research interest in Karoo tick paralysis and its vector. Ixodes rubicundus, prompted this survey to determine the economic implications of this disease. The survey indicated relatively high losses caused by the condition, identified the stock involved and provided data on the incidence of paralysis and on the control methods employed. Recommendations are made to institute chemical control earlier in the season to attempt better containment of the problem.
