The repellency of the essential oil of the previously reported anti-tick pasture shrub Gynandropsis gynandra and identified constituents of the oil were evaluated against the livestock tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus. In a tick-climbing repellency

Ten farmers on Rusinga Island, Lake Victoria, Kenya were selected to study the epidemiology of tick-borne diseases (TBDs) and their possible effects on calf performance. During the years 1986–1988 a total of 162 calves were ear-tagged, weighed mont

A quantitative measure for assessing the level of resistance of zebu cattle to Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is discussed. Basic data for the derivation of the mathematical index were from artificial infestation of cattle to adults, nymphs and larvae

A quantitative index of resistance to ticks, which had been derived from results of artificial infestation of East African zebu cattle with a Rusinga Island (Lake Victoria) stock of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, was tested for consistency using three

Tropical African ticks are found on their hosts throughout the year, but at varying infestation levels. These population changes, for most of the time, have been associated with climatic changes. Their development is inversely related to temperature.

Contrary to patterns described elsewhere, tick numbers on Rusinga Island cattle drop markedly after the onset of the rainy season. One possible explanation is that this is related to seasonal differences in host behaviour, since cattle grazing on the

Progress in the development of a simple life cycle model, with both deterministic and stochastic components for the brown ear tick, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neuman (Acarina: Ixodidae), is described. Control strategies or interventions that are us

Mature, unimproved East African Zebu cattle (Bos indicus) naturally exposed to ticks from birth were ranked for resistance to ticks by repeated whole-body counts of infesting ticks. Four cattle of high resistance, four of low resistance and two of in

Tick-susceptible Friesian steers were used as bait animals to assess the availability of adult Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Neumann on the pasture. Assuming that initial gross pickup rates of ticks by cattle were similar, the numbers of female ticks

A preliminary survey was conducted in coastal Kenya to assess the hosts of economically important tick species (Acari: Ixodidae) of domestic animals, as part of a training course for tick scientists from African research institutions. Ticks were coll
