A number of young Friesian oxen were slaughtered (one at a time) for parasite recovery for 12 consecutive months, from April 1987 to March 1988, on a farm in the Fauresmith district of the south western Orange Free State. A total of 5 ixodid and one argasid tick species, 2 lice species, plus one nematode species and one cestode species, were recovered. Peak numbers of adult Hyalomma marginatum rufipes were present from November 1987 to February 1988, while the largest numbers of Hyalomma truncatum were recovered during September 1987 and from November 1987 to January 1988. Adult Ixodes rubicundus were recovered only during April and June 1987. Adult ticks of a Rhipicephalus sp. near R. punctatus were present during April and from September to November 1987 and in January 1988. No pattern of seasonal abundance was evident for the other tick species, the lice or the helminths.
1987年4月至1988年3月期间，在奥兰治自由邦西南部福雷斯密斯区的一个农场，连续12个月（每次屠宰一头）宰杀了若干头年轻的弗里斯兰牛，以获取寄生虫。共发现了5种硬蜱和1种软蜱、2种虱子，以及1种线虫和1种绦虫。成年边缘璃眼蜱的数量高峰出现在1987年11月至1988年2月，而截形璃眼蜱的最大数量则在1987年9月以及1987年11月至1988年1月期间被发现。成年红硬蜱仅在1987年4月和6月被发现。在1987年4月、9月至11月以及1988年1月发现了接近微小扇头蜱的一种扇头蜱属成年蜱。其他蜱种、虱子或蠕虫没有明显的季节性丰度模式。
