Taxonomy: Eukaryota | Opisthokonta | Metazoa | Eumetazoa | Bilateria | Protostomia | Ecdysozoa | Panarthropoda | Arthropoda | Chelicerata | Arachnida | Acari | Parasitiformes | Ixodida | Ixodoidea | Ixodidae | Rhipicephalinae | Rhipicephalus | Rhipicephalus Common: brown ear tick (German: braune Ohrzecke) Comment: Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is a hard tick found in the ears of cattle, other livestock, and antelope. This tick is considered to be a major pest in areas where it is endemic. Heavy infestations on cattle can result in severe damage to the ears, a potentially fatal toxemia, or the loss of resistance to some infections.
