Session 5a

,Identifying external parasites

, Ticks

Common ticks found on dogs and cats are:
South African Yellow Dog Tick
Haemaphysalis elliptica
South African yellow dog ticks are
eyeless and have an orange or yellow
body. The edge of the tick’s body has
small but prominent indents. Their
mouthparts are short and triangular.
These ticks prefer to attach to the upper
part of an animal, the head, shoulders
and neck in particular. Dogs in the
eastern part of South Africa are more at
risk, especially in regions with heavy
rainfall.
