Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) of the Nile monitor on Rusinga Island, Kenya
J Med Entomol.
1990 May.
Abstract
In the course of a study of ticks of livestock, five Nile monitor lizard specimens were caught and examined for ticks. Although none of the tick species infesting livestock were found on the reptiles, a large number of adults and presumed nymphs and larvae of Aponomma flavomaculatum (Lucus) and adults of Amblyomma sparsum (Neumann) were collected. The ticks demonstrated a distinct predilection for their attachment sites. This is the second report of A. flavomaculatum from this part of Kenya.
