AustraliaThe economics of strategic dipping compared to nil treatment of cattle ticks (Boophilus microplus) on Droughtmaster cattle was assessed using a partial budget analysis. The analysis was based on reported experimental data which showed a bodyweight gain advantage from strategic dipping of 45 ...

New infestations of cattle fever ticks at locations outside the TEQA have become a major concern for the CFTEP. In response to the high frequency of new outbreaks, large temporary preventative quarantine areas (TPQAs) were established (Figure1), which place major restrictions on cattle movement ...
About 80 % of world cattle population is under the risk of ticks and tick borne diseases (TTBDs). Losses caused by bovine tick burdens in tropical countries have a tremendous economic impact on production systems. Chemical control of disease has been found to be ineffective and also involving ...
Babesiosis, caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Babesia, and ixodid ticks are considered to be one of the most important causes that result in significant economic losses in cattle production worldwide, including in Ethiopia. A cross-sectional stu
Present control measures are costly and by placing undue reliance on frequent dipping are thought to have increased the tendency of ticks to become resistant to BHC and arsenic 1 . A method involving only two or three dippings per year can be expected to reduce the difficulties of controlling ...

Engorged adults gave rise to progeny that transmitted Babesia, B. bovis by larvae and B. bigemina by male ticks. The Theileria and E. teganodes were not transmitted by the ticks and thus did not appear in calves used for isolating the pure strains of Babesia and A. marginale....
