Found throughout Africa, this tick is very important in its ability to transmit ''Cowdria ruminatium'' ([[Heartwater|heartwater]]) in Africa as well as viral Nairobi sheep disease and [[Q Fever]]. There is distinct variation in the appearance of the males and female, the males are highly ornate with orange markings on the scutum compared to the brown female with a large pale patch on the scutum.
