The distribution of ticks of the Ornithodoros moubata complex in different habitats in Malawi, particularly pigsties and houses, was established from a four-phase survey undertaken between 1982 and 1985. The first phase consisted of preliminary interviews, the second phase consisted of a questionnaire to Veterinary Assistants (VAs) in rural areas, the third involved tick collections by VAs and the fourth involved both interviews and tick collections by members of the Central Veterinary Laboratory, Lilongwe. The area in which O. moubata is found in pigsties includes much of the African swine fever (ASF) enzootic area, and it seems likely that the enzootic area could become larger in future. The occurrence of O. moubata in warthog habitats was also investigated.
1982年至1985年间进行了一项分四个阶段的调查，确定了莫氏钝缘蜱复合体在马拉维不同栖息地（特别是猪圈和房屋）的分布情况。第一阶段包括初步访谈，第二阶段包括向农村地区的兽医助理（VAs）发放问卷，第三阶段由兽医助理进行蜱虫采集，第四阶段由利隆圭中央兽医实验室的成员进行访谈和蜱虫采集。在猪圈中发现莫氏钝缘蜱的区域包括非洲猪瘟（ASF）的大部分地方病流行区，而且未来地方病流行区似乎有可能扩大。还调查了疣猪栖息地中莫氏钝缘蜱的出现情况。
