Abstract
The arthropod parasite burdens of 14 Cape mountain zebra (Equus zebra zebra), shot for survey purposes in the Mountain Zebra National Park in the eastern Cape Province, were determined. Three species of Gasterophilus larvae and 9 ixodid tick species were recovered [Gasterophilus intestinalis, G. nasalis, G. pecorum, Amblyomma marmareum, Hyalomma marginatum, H. truncatum, Ixodes sp., Margaropus winthemi, Rhipicephalus sp., R. arnoldi, R. evertsi, and R. glabrosatutum]. Larvae of Gasterophilus pecorum were the most numerous of the fly larvae recovered and Margaropus winthemi was the most abundant tick. Two horses examined in the park were infested with 3 species of Gasterophilus larvae and 7 species of ixodid ticks.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
