AbstractPoaching with snares has been identified as the main cause of decline of the endemic roan antelope Hippotragus equinuslangheldi in Ruma National Park, Kenya, from > 200 in 1979 to 37 in 2009. However, the spatial snaring patterns in the Park are not clearly understood. The focus of our study was to map the spatial distribution of snares in the Park and to identify the factors influencing this distribution, to develop effective methods of wildlife protection. Using data collected from 56 sample plots during 2006–2008, coupled with geographical information system techniques, we investigated the association between the occurrence of snares and the distribution of geographical features (slope, elevation), infrastructure (roads, fences), essential resources for wildlife (water, salt licks, forage), roan locations and wildlife density. Ripley's L function for assessing complete spatial randomness indicated that snares occurred in clumps (hotspots) up to 4 km apart. Negative binomial regression indicated that these hotspots occurred (1) near water resources, salt licks and the Park boundary, (2) far from roan locations and Park roads, (3) in areas with low gradients and low wildlife density, and (4) in areas with burned vegetation. We recommend concentrating routine security patrol efforts and resources on snare hotspots to reduce snaring and to protect the roan antelope and other threatened wildlife.

Mönnig (1933) described Setaria thwaitei from a sable antelope, Hippotragus niger, the type host, as well as from roan antelope, Hippotragus equinus, and waterbuck, Kobus ellipsiprymnus. Yeh (1959) considered Setaria thwaitei to be synonym of Setaria hornbyi. Material collected from roan antelopes, sable antelopes and gemsbuck, Oryx gazella, from several localities in the north and south of South Africa, together with Mönnig's (1933) material, were re-examined. Measurements of the adult worms obtained in this study were compared with those in the original description of the species. Scanning electron microscopy of the anterior and posterior regions of the female worms confirmed S. thwaitei as a valid species.

An aerial method of immunization is presented as afeasible means of vaccinating free-ranging roan antelope Hippotragus equinus against anthrax in the Kruger National Park. Themethod is described in detail and the results, obtained aftertwo consecutive years of application, are noted, tabulated andevaluated. A helicopter and a fixed wing aircraft were success-fully utilized in the location of widely dispersed roan antelopeherds and to bring the operator within effective firing rangeof the animal to be darted. A disposable projectile syringe,which simultaneously administers vaccine and effectively marksthe animal for later identification, is considered a vital part inthe successful implementation of the aerial method of immunization.

During the past nine years the writer has collected many helminths from the gastro-intestinal tract of various antelopes in Northern Rhodesia.Amongst the collected material are oesophagostomes from the Puku (Adenota vardoni), the Red Lechwe (Onotragus leche), the Duiker (Cephalophus natalensis), the Kudu (Strepsiceros strepsiceros) and the Roan Antelope (Hippotragus equinus).

Game Animals

In the collection of nematodes assembled by Prof. R. T. Leiper in this department there are numerous examples of worms from game animals in different parts of the world. Amongst these the writer, in further study of the Œsophagostomes, has been privileged to examine bottles of some provisionally labelledŒsophagostomum, sp.? One lot was collected from the Roan antelope (Hippotragus equinus) by Dr. J. E. S. Old in Nyasaland, another was collected from the Wart Hog (Phacocærus æthiopicus) in Uganda by Prof. R. T. Leiper. The other bottle contained worms from the latter host collected in Northern Territory Gold Coast, by Dr. J. J. Simpson on two different occasions. A study of these specimens shows that they comprise three species new to science, and one species just recently described by Daubney (1924).
