| contents | <p><span>Tick infestation in cattle <span>has been recognized as one of the challenging and perennial problem in cattle, causing significant economic losses to poor farming communities in terms of production losses, mortality in severe cases and cost of treatment. The cattle ticks <em>Rhipicephalus (Boophilus)microplus</em> and <em>R(B) annulatus</em> ticks commonly infest cattle. Ticks are cosmopolitan in distribution, but the magnitude of tick infestation is naturally high in tropical and subtropical regions with warm and humid climates, which are suitable for breeding and survival of various tick stages. Economic losses due to tick infestation are classified as direct and indirect. Direct losses include blood loss, tick toxicosis, tick paralysis, tick worry, damage to hides and udders. Indirect losses occur through transmission of many haemoprotozoan diseases such as babesiosis, theileriosis and anaplasmosis, and predisposition to secondary infections such as screw worm myiasis and dermatophytosis, and the expenses incurred for tick control</span></span></p> |
