Recent research interest in Karoo tick paralysis and its vector. Ixodes rubicundus, prompted this survey to determine the economic implications of this disease. The survey indicated relatively high losses caused by the condition, identified the stock involved and provided data on the incidence of paralysis and on the control methods employed. Recommendations are made to institute chemical control earlier in the season to attempt better containment of the problem.
近期对卡鲁蜱瘫痪症及其传播媒介红硬蜱的研究兴趣引发了本次调查，以确定这种疾病的经济影响。调查显示了该病症造成的相对较高的损失，确定了受影响的牲畜，并提供了有关瘫痪发病率和所采用控制方法的数据。建议在季节早期实施化学防治，以更好地控制这一问题。
