A few collections were taken from sheep, antelopes, and caracal. Immature ticks are described, but their hosts in nature are practically unknown (one nymph was collected on the mouse Rhabdomys pumilio).

 Literature: Walker et al. (2000).

 Tropical Africa south of Sahara, except Gabon, Congo, Namibia, most of Zaire, and the Republic of South Africa.

 Adults parasitize various mammals, preferring livestock, wild buffalo, and pigs. A few immature ticks were collected on rodents, a hare, and an impala. Adults attach to the legs and tails of hosts, and they are most active during the rainy season. Tick bites can cause paralysis in sheep and calves.

 Somalia (southern), Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the Republic of South Africa (northeastern).

 Adults parasitize large and middle-sized mammals, preferring elephants, rhinoceroses, buffalo, wild pigs, and cattle. Immature ticks were also found on all of these hosts, except the elephant.

 Tanzania, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, and Zaire (southeast).

 Rare species. Adults were collected on wild pigs, antelopes, buffalo, aardvark, zebra, lion, leopard, livestock, and some other mammals. Immature ticks have not been described.

 Guinea, Benin, and Cameroon.

 Rare species. Adults were mainly collected on domestic dogs, but collections were once taken from cattle, a civet, and a monkey. Larvae and nymphs were reared in the laboratory, but their hosts in nature are unknown.

 Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Republic of South Africa (northeastern).

 All stages parasitize various mammals, preferring the impala, nyala, kudu, bushbuck, and duikers. Immature ticks are often found on hares. On nyala, ticks attach to the ears and parasitize all year round.

 Literature: Walker et al. (2000).

 West and Central Africa from Mauritania (extreme southern) to the east as far as Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, and Zaire.

 Host range of adults is very wide and includes almost all available large and middle-sized mammals. Immature ticks parasitize rodents and hares.

 Literature: Walker et al. (2000), Morel (1980).

Map 42

 Namibia and the Republic of South Africa.

 Adults were mainly collected on sheep, but ticks were also found on goats and occasionally on antelopes. Nymphs were found on the mouse Aethomys namaquensis, but the natural hosts of larvae are unknown. Adults attach to sheep between hooves. The season of adult activity is from September to June with maximum activity in February to May.

 Literature: Walker et al. (2000).

Map 13

 Republic of South Africa (extreme south).

 Principal hosts of all stages are sheep, the antelopes Damaliscus pygargus dorcas and Pelea capreolus, and hares. Adults attach to the head, especially on the ears. Immature ticks attach to the legs of hosts. Larvae are active from February to June, nymphs from August to October, and adults are active from November to February. Life cycle takes one year.

 Literature: Walker et al. (2000).

 Republic of South Africa, Namibia, Angola (?), and Botswana (?).

 Principal hosts of all stages are hares. Ticks attach to the ears of their hosts. Larvae are most numerous on hosts from March to July, nymphs from May to September, and imagines are most numerous on hosts from August to December.

 Literature: Walker et al. (2000).

 Zimbabwe, Botswana, and the Republic of South Africa.

 Adults were collected from the antelope Oreotragus oreotragus. Immature ticks have not been described.

 Indonesia (from southern Sumatra to Sulawesi and Timor) and Philippines (Mindoro).

 Adults parasitize various large and middle-sized mammals. Immature ticks feed on small mammals.

 Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire (southeastern), Malawi, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe.

 Principal hosts of adults are wild pigs, buffalo, and porcupines, but ticks also parasitize other mammals, including cattle and carnivores. Single specimens of immature ticks were collected on a rat and a hare.

 Literature: Walker et al. (2000).

 Egypt (valley and delta of the Nile), Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibuti, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zaire, and Yemen.

 Adults parasitize various wild and domestic mammals, preferring cattle, buffalo, wild pigs, large carnivores, and porcupines. Immature ticks feed on rodents. Adults are most active during the rainy season.

 Tick bites can cause paralysis in livestock. This species is a vector of Rickettsia conorii.

 Literature: Walker et al. (2000).

Map 60

 Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibuti, Sudan (extreme southern), Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.

 Adults mainly parasitize various ungulates, both domestic and wild. These ticks rarely infest carnivores but are common on hares. They mainly attach to the ears of hosts. Immature ticks feed on small mammals, preferring elephant shrews Elephantulus and hares. Adults are most active during the rainy season.

 Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote d’Ivore, Nigeria, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Zaire, Congo, Sudan (southern), Uganda, and Gabon.

 Principal host of adults is the red buffalo Synceros caffer nanus. In Uganda, it parasitizes the black buffalo S. c. caffer. Ticks are occasionally found on other large mammals, including bush pigs Potamochoerus porcus, cattle, and antelopes. Nymphs were collected in rodent nests. Larvae have not been described.
