Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- I-Colorado Tick Fever yisifo esibangelwa yigciwane esidluliselwa ngama-tick. Akuvamile eSri Lanka futhi sitholakala kakhulu eNyakatho Melika.
- Izimpawu eziyinhloko umkhuhlane, izinhlungu zomzimba, ikhanda elibuhlungu, futhi ngezinye izikhathi umkhuhlane we-biphasic.
- Akukho ukwelashwa okuqondile kwalokhu, futhi kwelashwa izimpawu kuphela.
