ANIMALS AND OTHER SOURCES FROM WHICH 



TICKS HAVE BEEN COLLECTED 



The following lists are a resiune of Sudanese tick host records 

 in the present collection. The fauna of Torit District in Equatoria 

 Province has been most thorovighly studied, that of Eastern and Juba 

 Districts, to the east and west of Torit District respectively, has 

 also received considerable attention though not to the extent of 

 that in Torit District. These three Districts comprise that part 

 of Equatoria Province lying east of the Nile. The west bank of 

 Equatoria Province remains poorly known and will undoubtedly pro^ 

 vide a rich source of new data to future workers. 



In Bahr El Ghazal Province, the area from Yirol to Wau and 

 northwards has been fairly well stijdied; the remainder of this 

 Province has been surveyed but should receive more attention. 

 Upper Nile Province is the least studied of this group of three 

 Provinces with tropical African savannah landscape and big game 

 animals. Some East African tick species presently imknown in 

 the Sudan may occur on animals in this area. Hosts from which 

 ticks have been collected in the remaining Provinces, comprising 

 desert scrub, semidesert, and desert zones of the Sudan, are 

 mostly domestic animals. Kassala and Northern Provinces are 

 less well represented in these collections than Darfur and 

 Kordofan Provinces. 



Equatoria Province data are more representative of the over- 

 all picture of host parasite relationships than those of other 

 Provinces and are, therefore, reviewed in greater detail than 

 data for other Provinces. Certain significant negative data are 

 also included.
