Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum nymphs were collected from two localities in the Sudan: Eddamer in Northern Sudan and Wad-Medani in Central Sudan. They were allowed to moult to adult ticks, which were assessed for Theileria infection in their salivary glands using Feulgen stain. At Eddamer, 49.6 % of 123 ticks examined were infected with Theileria and the mean intensity of infection was 1.3 (i.e. the number of infected acini / number of infected ticks). At Wad-Medani, 8.6 % of 162 ticks were infected and the mean intensity of infection was 7.9. The prevalence of infection was higher in female than in male ticks at both localities. When adult H. a. anatolicum were applied onto two susceptible calves, both animals developed the severe form of theileriosis.

An account is given of the morphological characteristics of the larvae of Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum and H. a. excavatum. Emphasis is placed on the importance of chaetotaxy in the identification of the larvae.I am most grateful to Professor Don R. Arthur for reading the manuscript and for his most useful advice and encouragement. Also I wish to express my sincere thanks to Dr R. P. Chaudhuri, Dr C. M. Clifford, Dr V. Dhanda, Dr H. Hoogstraal and Profesor B. Feldman-Muhsam for supplying me with specimens.
