These were made up of three lice and one ixodid tick. The percentage occurrence of these parasites are: Menacanthus stramineus (50.5%), Rhipicephalus saguineus (29.5%), Damalinia ovis (12.4%) and Lipeurus caponis (7.6%). Lice were the most prevalent and predominant of the ectoparasites of the 35 free-range domestic fowls examined, 22 (62.9%) were infested. Among the fowls examined, 10 (28.6%) were infested by the tick, R. saguineus, while 20 (57.1%) were infested by lice, 16 (45.7%) by M. stramineus, 5 (14.3%) by L. caponis  and 7 (20.0%) by D. ovis.
