Ticks and tick-borne diseases are important in human and livestock health worldwide. In November 2012, ixodid ticks were collected and identified morphologically from cattle and wild animals in the Maswa district and Iringa urban, Tanzania. Amblyomma gemma, A. lepidum, and A. variegatum were identified from Maswa cattle, and A. variegatum was the predominant species. A. marmoreum, Hyalomma impeltatum, and Rhipicephalus pulchellus were identified from Iringa cattle in addition to the above 3 Amblyomma species, and A. gemma was the most abundant species. Total 4 Amblyomma and 6 Rhipicephalus species were identified from wild animals of the 2 areas. A. lepidum was predominant in Maswa buffaloes, whereas A. gemma was predominant in Iringa buffaloes. Overall, A. variegatum in cattle was predominant in the Maswa district and A. gemma was predominant in Iringa, Tanzania.

문제 정의
This study shows that various species of ticks infest the cattle and wild animals of 2 areas in Tanzania. Amblyomma ticks, which are well-known vectors for Ehrlichia and Rickettsia species that cause heartwater, spotted fever, and African tick-bite fever in animals and humans [10], were the most predominant tick species in cattle (Table 1).
대상 데이터
Because both regions contain game reserves and national parks, habitats of wild and domestic animals overlap. This study was conducted in the Maswa district of the Shinyanga region and in the Iringa urban of the Iringa region. The Maswa district, 1 of the 8 districts of the Shinyanga region, is located along the southwestern boundary of the Serengeti National Park.
Cattle from 8 herds in the villages of Mwasinasi, Nyashimba, and Nyasosi in the Maswa Game Reserve were examined. The frequency of acaricide treatment in these herds was unclear.
Ninety-seven ticks were collected from wild animals, including 4 Amblyomma species and 6 Rhipicephalus species (Table 2). A.

Ticks from wild animals were also collected from the whole body, especially near the horns. The wild animals examined near the Maswa district and Iringa urban included those that were either freshly hunted down or roadkill; buffalos (Syncerus caffer), bush buck (Tragelaphus sp.), bush pig (Potamochoerus larvatus), eland (Taurotragus oryx), leopard (Panthera pardus), roan antelope (Hippotragus equines), topi (Damaliscus korrigum), warthog (Phacochoerus africanus), and zebra (Equus quagga). Generally, not all the ticks from an individual animal were collected.
