The examination of 317 nomadic cattle infiltrating into the Kainji Lake National Park revealed seven tick species, Ambylomma variegatum, Boophilus decolaratus, B. annulatus, Hylomma aegyptium, Rhipicephalus appendiculata?, R. everti, R. simus senegalensis, one mite Demodex bovis and a lice species Damalina bovis. These ectoparasites have the ability of attaching to wild animals of the park in particular the two host and three host tick species Hylomma sp., Rhipicephalus spp. and Ambylomma sp. The endoparasites include nine nematodes species, five trematodes and eimeria sp. The occurrence of these endoparasites is an indication of the risk of cross-infection because similar helminth fauna have been reported in wild animals of the park. It is concluded that the need to prevent entry of cattle into the park should be encouraged because of the pasture contamination and potential risk of cross parasitic infection between the domestic cattle and wild animals of the park.
对317头闯入卡因吉湖国家公园的游牧牛进行检查后发现了7种蜱虫，分别是变异革蜱、消色牛蜱、环形牛蜱、埃及璃眼蜱、附加扇头蜱？、埃氏扇头蜱、塞内加尔扇头蜱，1种螨类牛蠕形螨和1种虱类牛血虱。这些外寄生虫能够附着在公园的野生动物身上，尤其是两种宿主和三种宿主的蜱虫种类，即璃眼蜱属、扇头蜱属和革蜱属。内寄生虫包括9种线虫、5种吸虫和艾美球虫属。这些内寄生虫的出现表明存在交叉感染的风险，因为在该公园的野生动物中也报告过类似的蠕虫动物群。得出的结论是，鉴于牧场污染以及公园内家养牛和野生动物之间存在交叉寄生虫感染的潜在风险，应鼓励采取措施防止牛进入公园。
