Tick-borne diseases of sheep and goats have not been thoroughly investigated in the Sudan. Heartwater, the most important of the group, was reported only in the early '60s and malignant theileriosis of sheep in the mid '80s. Other tick-borne diseases of sheep and goats like anaplasmosis, Q fever, Nairobi sheep disease and babesiosis are expected to be present although the vector which transmit Nairobi sheep disease, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is confined to a very narrow stretch on the Southern border with Zaire, Uganda and Kenya.
在苏丹，绵羊和山羊的蜱传疾病尚未得到全面调查。心水病是该类疾病中最重要的一种，仅在20世纪60年代初有过报道，绵羊恶性泰勒虫病则在80年代中期有过报道。尽管传播内罗毕绵羊病的媒介——微小扇头蜱仅局限于与扎伊尔、乌干达和肯尼亚接壤的南部边境非常狭窄的区域，但预计绵羊和山羊的其他蜱传疾病，如无浆体病、Q热、内罗毕绵羊病和巴贝斯虫病也会存在。
