title: Ticks infesting animals in the Sudan and Southern Sudan: past and current status.
abstract: In this review, we collate information about ticks identified in different parts of the Sudan and  South Sudan since 1956 in order to identify gaps in tick prevalence and create a map of tick  distribution. This will avail basic data for further research on ticks and policies for the control  of tick-borne diseases. In this review, we discuss the situation in the Republic of South Sudan  as well as Sudan. For this purpose we have divided Sudan into four regions, namely northern  Sudan (Northern and River Nile states), central Sudan (Khartoum, Gazera, White Nile, Blue  Nile and Sennar states), western Sudan (North and South Kordofan and North, South and  West Darfour states) and eastern Sudan (Red Sea, Kassala and Gadarif states).
