A total of 48 springbok, 48 gemsbok, 23 kudus and 6 giraffes were examined for ticks and lice, while 9 Burchell's zebras and 6 Hartmann's mountain zebras were examined only for ticks. Springbok and gemsbok were shot in both the Etosha National Park in the north and the Hardap Nature Reserve in the south of Namibia. All the other animals were shot in the Etosha National Park. A total of 7 ixodid tick species and 8 lice species were recovered. The springbok carried few ticks. The adults of a Rhipicephalus sp. (near R. oculatus) were most numerous on the gemsbok, especially during November. The kudus were the only animals harbouring Rhipicephalus zambeziensis. Adult Hyalomma truncatum, followed by adult Hyalomma marginatum rufipes, were most abundant on the giraffes and adult Rhipicephalus evertsi mimeticus were commonest on the zebras.
共对48只跳羚、48只大羚羊、23只捻角羚和6只长颈鹿进行了蜱虫和虱子检查，而仅对9只平原斑马和6只哈特曼山斑马进行了蜱虫检查。跳羚和大羚羊是在纳米比亚北部的埃托沙国家公园和南部的哈达普自然保护区射杀的。所有其他动物都是在埃托沙国家公园射杀的。共发现7种硬蜱和8种虱子。跳羚身上的蜱虫很少。一种近眼蜱属（接近眼蜱）的成虫在大羚羊身上数量最多，尤其是在11月。捻角羚是唯一携带赞比西河蜱的动物。截形璃眼蜱成虫，其次是边缘璃眼蜱红足亚种成虫，在长颈鹿身上最为丰富，而埃氏扇头蜱模拟亚种成虫在斑马身上最为常见。
