“…The seasonality of R. sanguineus infesting dogs was studied in Egypt by Amin & Madbouly (1973), who found two peak periods of female activity. The first peak in March coincided with an increase in temperature whilst the second in June coincided with an increase in relative humidity• Few adult ticks were taken between October and December• In South Africa, R. sanguineus on kennelled dogs was active mainly during the summer from October to April (Horak, 1982).…”

In this, our second study on the biosystematics of the Rhipicephalus sanguineus group, we consider an additional five species found in the Afrotropical region, namely R. sanguineus, R. camicasi, R. guilhoni, R. moucheti and R. bergeoni.Cross-breeding experiments have shown that R. sanguineus (Latreille, 1806) sensu stricto is genetically distinct from R. camicasi Morel, Mouchet & Rodhain, 1976. Further cross-breeding trials confirmed that R. camicasi also occurs in Saudi Arabia: a field strain from this country was more productive than a laboratoryreared strain from Egypt. R. sanguineus, which parasitises mainly dogs, probably occurs throughout the Afrotropical region. R. camicasi parasitises both large and small domestic ruminants and is restricted to the arid and semi-arid lowlands of northeastern Africa and the Arabian peninsula. The larva, nymph, male and female of these two last named species are described with the aid of scanning electron micrographs (SEMs).The two western African species, R. guilhoni Vassiliades, 1963 and R. moucheti Morel, 1964, are accepted as valid members of the R. sanguineus group, but we have little material available for critical study. The male and female of R. guilhoni are briefly redescribed with the aid of SEMs.R. bergeoni Morel & Balis, 1976 occurs predominantly on cattle in the wetter highlands and subhighlands of Ethiopia and Sudan. The male and female are briefly described. Current morphological and ecological data suggest that the inclusion of this species in the R. sanguineus group is questionable.

To assess the presence of rickettsial pathogens in ticks from Egypt, we collected ticks from domestic and peridomestic animals between June 2002 and July 2003. DNA extracts from 1019 ticks were tested, using PCR and sequencing, for Anaplasma spp., Bartonella spp., Coxiella burnetii, Ehrlichia spp., and Rickettsia spp. Ticks included: 29 Argas persicus, 10 Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum, 55 Hyalomma anatolicum excavatum, 174 Hyalomma dromedarii, 2 Hyalomma impeltatum, 3 Hyalomma marginatum rufipes, 55 unidentified nymphal Hyalomma, 625 Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) annulatus, 49 Rhipicephalus sanguineus, and 17 Rhipicephalus turanicus. Ticks were collected predominantly (>80%) from buffalo, cattle, and camels, with smaller numbers from chicken and rabbit sheds, sheep, foxes, a domestic dog, a hedgehog, and a black rat. We detected Anaplasma marginale, Coxiella burnetii, Rickettsia aeschlimannii, and four novel genotypes similar to: "Anaplasma platys," Ehrlichia canis, Ehrlichia spp. reported from Asian ticks, and a Rickettsiales endosymbiont of Ixodes ricinus.

“…It is noticed that studies on the seasonal fluctuations in the population of mammalian lice have been made by CRAUFURD-BENSON (1941) and MATTHYSSE (1944) in Bowicola bowis (Linn. ) infesting cattles; by SCOTT (1952) and MURRAY (1963a, 1968a andb) in Damalinia owis (Schrank) infesting sheeps; by COWAN (1944) in some species of Tricholipeurus (Bedford) infesting black-tailed deer; by BENNET (in ANDER- SON 1962), SAMUEL and TRAINER (1971) and WATSON and ANDERSON (1975) infesting white-tailed deer; by MURRAY (1963b) in Damalinia equi (Denny) infesting horses and by AMIN (1973) But to date no detailed study has been undertaken on the seasonal dynamics of avian Mallophaga. Therefore, the present study on one of the avian species has been undertaken.…”

The population indices show constant relation with the rise or fall in temperature, during summer and winter months. Lice index (monthly mean/bird) increased from February‐March corresponding the gradual increase in temperature. The peak index is obtained in May‐June when there is a sharp increase in temperature. The lower index is seen from September‐February, corresponding with the decline in temperature and increase in relative humidity. Zusammenfassung Untersuchungen zur Saisondynamik des Federlings Lipeurus lawrensis tropicalis Pet. (Phthiraptera, Ischnocera) bei Geflügel Die Populations‐Indices von L. lawrensis tropicalis zeigten während der Sommer‐ und Wintermonate konstante Relationen zwischen dem Auftreten des Mallophagen am Geflügel und der Außentemperatur. Der Spitzenindex wurde — nach starkem Temperaturanstieg — im Mai/Juni erreicht. Der Minimalindex wurde zwischen September und Februar bei niedriger Temperatur aber relativ hoher Luftfeuchtigkeit beobachtet.
