Among mammals, immature ticks have been identified on a wide diversity of species, including elephant shrews, rodents, lagomorphs, hyraxes, carnivores, equids and ruminants.
The adult ticks were collected during the period 1971-1978 from 1258 hosts representing 28 species, 13 families and six orders of wild mammals.
In this way ticks were recorded on ungulates, carnivores, rodents or pholidotes.
Current knowledge indicates that ticks have a life pattern that produces apparently conflicting evolutionary selection pressures.
In the second instance, host specificity was tested for ticks that had been collected 20 times or more, using data tabulated below.
Both of these simulations used exactly the same number of ticks.
Other ticks were only found on the mammals examined in the forests and the coastal zone.
All ticks attached were counted, and all nymphs and adults were collected into tubes with damp paper and transported live to the laboratory.
What eventually emerged was a compromise that endorsed the principle of mandatory cleansing, but did little to combat ticks.
A total of 600 ticks were caught by sweeping lowlying vegetation of all accessible areas at the zoos with a cotton flag (flagging method).
A comparatively low percentage of ticks survived the primary infection (45%) but of these survivors a high percentage (82%) survived the challenge (secondary) infection.
In contrast, ticks dispersed within a continent by local movement of birds or domestic and wild animals are being circulated within their endemic distribution range.
The ticks were never handled manually nor impregnated with oil or any other similar substance.
However, it is more reliable to obtain this information directly by removing and identifying the ticks feeding on people.
The differences concerning behaviour and physiology between nidiculous and non-nidiculous ticks are enormous especially in their host-finding behaviours.
