Abstract excerpt

In the Eastern Province of Zambia, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Neumann) and R. zambeziensis (Walker) are sympatric. Intermediate forms as well as typical specimens are found. No morphological criteria could detect cross-breeding between these species in the field. Hybrids between R. appendiculatus and R. zambeziensis were produced and glucose-phosphate-isomerase (EC 5.3.1.9.; GPI) isoenzymes resolved by agarose...
