HOSTS 



All authors list the African buffalo, Syncerus caf f er , as 

 the chief host of A. cohaerens . 



The East African buffalo tick is frequently reported to 

 attack domestic cattle in areas where buffaloes are coranon or 

 after large numbers of these animals have been shot out for 

 disease control. Domestic cattle have been listed as hosts 

 by Robinson (1926), Schwetz (1932), Schoenaers (1951B), and 

 Rousselot (1951,1953B). Cattle are frequently parasitized 

 when near game, especially buffalo (Wilson 19ii.8A,1950C). In
