Abstract
- Amblyomma and Riphicephalus genuses were more often detected in the afternoon and were more abundant close to water pans.
- Riphicephalus spp. density was also higher in grassland and bushland as compared to woodland.
- Densities Amblyomma and Riphicephalus ticks were much higher in the communal land as compared to the national park and 'mixed' compartment.
- Strong inputs of site occupancy modelling for rigorous parasite density estimations with heterogeneous detection probabilities.
- Results compatible with a dilution effect but need additional empirical studies.
