Extract

The tick, Ornithodoros moubata, was named by Murray in 1877 as Argas moubata; his specimens came from Angola (Portuguese West Africa), where twenty years earlier, Livingstone had noticed that such ticks were common in native huts; but Murray's description was “quite useless” (Nuttall & others, 1908) and it was Pocock (1900) who first published a recognizable description of the species and distinguished between 0. moubata and 0. savignyi (Audouin).
