	abstract = {<p>Five louse species were collected from the hides of 45 impala ewes Aepyceros melampus examined in sets of 15 during three sampling periods in the Northern Province, South Africa. These were Damalinia aepycerus, Damalinia elongata, Linognathus aepycerus, Linognathus nevilli and an unidentified Linognathus sp. The aims of the study were to determine whether lice infesting impala exhibit preferences for specific sites on the host\&$\#$39;s body and also to determine the role of season in louse abundance. D. aepycerus was predominantly present on the body and tail. L. aepycerus showed no distinct distribution pattern and L. nevilli was most abundant on the hind feet.</p>

	abstract = {<p>The gemsbok, Oryx gazella, is an introduced species in the Orange Free State. Two antelope were shot each month in the Willem Pretorius Nature Reserve from February 1987 to January 1988 in order to determine their parasitic burdens. Although none of the gemsbok harboured large burdens, nine ixodid tick species, two louse species, 17 nematode species and a cestode species were recovered. Margaropus winthemi, which was mainly present from July to September, was the most abundant tick, followed by Rhipicephalus evertsi evertsi, which showed no clear pattern of seasonal abundance. Young antelope harboured significantly greater numbers of the sucking louse Linognathus oryx than did older animals. Trichostrongylus falculatus was the most numerous nematode, followed by Cooperia fuelleborni. No pattern of seasonal abundance was evident for any of the helminths.</p>
