TL;DR: Taeniid eggs from lion feces in Uganda and amplified DNA from individual eggs indicated the presence of a distinct species of E. granulosus felidis, which had been identified morphologically approximately 40 years ago in South Africa.
Journal Article
The ixodid tick burdens of various large ruminant species in South African nature reserves.
TL;DR: The tick burdens of animals shot at the same time and locality are compared, and the attachment sites of some tick species on some of the hosts are given.
Journal Article
Parasites of domestic and wild animals in south africa. xxx. ectoparasites of kudus in the eastern transvaal lowveld and the eastern cape province
TL;DR: Sets of four kudus were shot and examined for arthropod parasites at approximately monthly intervals from April 1981 to March 1983 in the southern part of the Kruger National Park, eastern Transvaal Lowveld and in the Addo Elephant National Park.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 12-month survey of the gastro-intestinal helminths of antelopes, gazelles and giraffids kept at two zoos in Belgium.
TL;DR: The findings suggest different nematode infection levels between herds, which are mainly due to husbandry conditions but to a lesser extent to species- or individual susceptibility, are suggested.
Journal Article
Parasites of domestic and wild animals in South Africa. XXIII. Helminth and arthropod parasites of warthogs, Phacochoerus aethiopicus, in the eastern Transvaal Lowveld.
TL;DR: A total of 69 warthogs, Phacochoerus aethiopicus, were collected from 4 localities within the Kruger National Park, eastern Transvaal Lowveld and the seasonal abundance of fleas of the genus Echidnophaga, of the sucking louse Haematopinus phacochOeri and the ixodid ticks was determined.
