Fivaz, D. de Waal, K. Lander] Summary: A comparison of the tick resistance of indigenous Mashona and crossbred Afrikander×Sussex oxen following natural tick infestation indicated that significantly more African blue ticksBoophilus decoloratus were found on the crossbred than the indigenous cattle (P<0.05). The two groups of cattle were exposed toBabesia bigemina andTheileria taurotragi as indicated by high antibody titres on the indirect fluorescent antibody test, but no antibodies could be demonstrated toAnaplasma marginale andT. parva bovis despite the presence of their vectors.Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, Hyalomma truncatum andH. marginatum rufipes showed a seasonal distribution. The implications of the findings in terms of strategic tick control are discussed. Centre for Tropical Veterinary Medicine, 1992 Fivaz B.
