MAMMALIA 



BATS are parasitized by A. confusus and A. vespertilionis . 



RODENTS in the desert often bear larvae and nymphs of 

 Hyalomma ticks; immatiare tick specimens of this genus have not 

 yet been identified. A FCK shot near Khartoum bore a number of 

 H. 1. leachii and another four male H. 1. muhsami and several 

 T?. "s. sanguineus . 



DCMESTIC FOWLS 



A. persicus is common in Khartoiun and Oradurman. 



DCMESTIC 1-lAMMALS 



CAMELS yield large nximbers of H. excavatum, H. dromedarii 

 and R. s. sanguineus , and smaller numbers of H. impeltatum and 

 H. ruf ipes . 0. savignyi is common here. 



DOGS bear R. s. sangtdneus and less commonly H. 1. leachii , 

 H. dromedarii, T[, excavali-iim , and H. rufipes . 



HCRSES and DONKEfS are parasitized chiefly by H. excavatum 

 but also bear good numbers of H. impeltatxjm , H. dromedarii , H. 

 excavatum , H. rufipes , R. e. everts! , and R. "s. sanguineus and 

 a few B. decolor atus . "Small populations oT tHe last named 

 species appear to be established in irrigated gardens along 

 the Nile. 



CATTLE provide H. dromedarii , H. excavatum , and R. _s. 

 sanguineus , and fewer H, impeltatum " and H. ruilpes . 



SHEEP and GOATS are parasitized by the same species as 

 cattle, except that R. e. evertsi is also cominon on them.
