A tick survey was done on sheep and goats in Siaya and Kakamega Districts, Kenya between October 1980 and October 1981. Most of the animals were found to carry one to 10 ticks with no significant difference between sheep and goats. The most abundant species was R. appendiculatus followed by R. evertsi. There were more male than female ticks found on the animals. Thirty per cent of the farms visited practised the hand picking method of tick control while 14% regularly dipped their animals.
1980年10月至1981年10月期间，在肯尼亚的锡亚亚区和卡卡梅加区对绵羊和山羊进行了蜱虫调查。发现大多数动物身上携带1至10只蜱虫，绵羊和山羊之间没有显著差异。最常见的蜱虫种类是附加扇头蜱，其次是埃氏扇头蜱。在动物身上发现的雄性蜱虫比雌性蜱虫多。接受调查的农场中，30%采用人工摘除蜱虫的方法进行蜱虫控制，14%定期给动物浸药。
