BOOPHILUS ANI'JULATUS 



SAMPAIO & FAIA (1952A,B) and SAt'IPAIO, DA CRUZ, & FAIA (1952,1953). 

 Portugal. Boutonneuse fever (R. conorii ). The first two 

 papers give laboratory findings and generalized remarks on 

 increasing incidence and geographical distribution of dis- 

 ease in Portugal. In the third, a strain of the rickettsia 

 from Boophilus ticks is reported; the authors believe that 

 these ticks may play a role in transmitting the organism 

 to human beings. The last is a brief statement that the 

 rickettsia is transmitted by the bite of R. sanguineus and 

 has been isolated from Boophilus ticks that had been in 

 the laboratory for two years. /"The significance of this 

 finding would appear to be more in the line of a reservoir 

 host than a vector _ HHT. 



BOOPHILUS DBSOLQRATUS 



LAHILLE (19U). Argentina. Two females, presumably this spe- 

 cies, found on camels brought to Buenos Aires from the 

 Canary Islands. These may form the basis of Minning's 

 (1934) record, though it cannot be determined whether 

 or not Winning examined the material.
