| Closely related to Boophilus , the 3 highly specialized beady-legged, 1-host Margaropus spp are restricted to limited areas of Africa. M reidi and M wileyi are recorded from giraffe in the Sudan and in Kenya and Tanzania, respectively. M wileyi is also known to parasitize zebras and gnu. M winthemi , a winter-feeding parasite of zebras, horses, and less often other livestock and antelope, is confined to mountains of South Africa and may contribute to loss of condition during winter. |
