the four years. 
This report is divided into three sections representing the areas 
of interest of the three units. The first covers the Smithsonian’s 
work with the birds of Egypt and Cyprus; the second covers the 
ectoparasites, especially NAMRU-3’s study of the ticks, and the third 
deals with the virus work at YARD. 
An appendix presents much of the background for interpretation of 
the results of the Survey. This includes distribution maps and habitat 
information on the species of birds examined, distribution maps of the 
ticks and arboviruses, records of birds recovered during banding and 
summary computer printouts of the birds examined and banded on each day 
during the Survey.
