Fund von zwei Amblyomma-Arten vom Nashorn (Diceros bicornis)

Ticks collected from Diceros bicornis imported in Zoo Berlin (East) from Kilimajaro in autumn 1956. Two ticks were found, i.e. Amblyomma marmoreum Koch and Amblyomma gemma D?nitz. A. marmoreum was represented by 8 males, A.gemma by one male. It is known that in Amblyomma the males often stay weeks or even months on the host while the females have long since left it.
