One bushbuck, Tragelaphus scriptus, and 1 common duiker, Sylvicapra grimmia, were shot each month from May 1983 to May 1984 in the Weza State Forest, Natal, i.e. a total of 13 animals of each species. The bushbuck were infested with 8 ixodid tick species, 2 louse species and a louse-fly species. The common duiker harboured 7 tick species and 2 louse species. Ticks of the genus Ixodes were the most numerous and prevalent on both antelope species, but no pattern of seasonal abundance was evident. Although only small numbers were recovered, adult Haemaphysalis aciculifer were present from September to February, nymphs of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus from May to September, and adult Rhipicephalus lunulatus from December to March. The louse-fly, Lipoptena paradoxa, was recovered from some of the bushbuck from October to May.
1983年5月至1984年5月期间，每月在纳塔尔省韦扎国家森林射杀1只东非薮羚（Tragelaphus scriptus）和1只普通小羚羊（Sylvicapra grimmia），即每种动物各13只。东非薮羚感染了8种硬蜱、2种虱子和1种虱蝇。普通小羚羊身上有7种蜱虫和2种虱子。硬蜱属的蜱虫在这两种羚羊身上数量最多且最为常见，但没有明显的季节性丰度模式。虽然回收的数量很少，但9月至次年2月有成年尖刺血蜱，5月至9月有附加扇头蜱若虫，12月至次年3月有新月扇头蜱成虫。10月至次年5月，在一些东非薮羚身上发现了虱蝇奇异喉蝇。
