Summary
Unless otherwise stated the records in the host/parasite checklist refer to adult ticks. The number in brackets appearing after a tick's name represents the number of collections made from the host species under which it is listed. When a tick's name appears in bold type this indicates that the animal under which it is listed is a preferred host of the adults. Large numbers of domestic cattle., sheep and dogs as well as Indian gerbils and Tolai hares have been examined for ticks within the distribution range of the non-Afrotropical Rhipicephalus species. The numbers of collections from these animals could give a false impression of host preference.
The host groupings under which the tick collections are recorded in the host/parasite checklist follow the same sequence as those in the host record tables accompanying the individual tick species accounts, namely domestic animals, wild animals, birds and humans.
