Item Ectoparasites from East African Vertebrates(1975) Peirce, M.A.; East African Veterinary Research Organization, Muguga, P.O. Kabete, Kenya.Records of ticks, mites and fleas found on 19 species of mammals and 4 of birds in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania are presented. They include Xenopsylla brasiliensis (Baker) from Rattus rattus and Cricetomys gambianus, and also Haemaphysalis leachii (Aud.) from a potto (Perodicticus potto).Item Two New Hosts for Clinostomum Phalacrocoracis Dubois, 1931 (Trematoda), from Uganda(1970) Peirce, M.A.; Din, N.A.; East African Veterinary Research Organization, Muguga, P.O. Kabete, Kenya.; Scientific Warden, Queen Elizabeth National Park, UgandaClinostomum phalacrocoracis is recorded for the first time from Pelecanus onocrotalus and P. rufescens in Uganda. The incidence and intensity of infection, higher in the former species, are related to the feeding habits of the hosts. Although both species feed on Tilapia nilotica[Oreochromis niloticus], P. onocrotalus feeds on larger specimens which presumably harbour greater numbers of metacercariae.
