Distribution and prevalence of ixodid tick species (Acari: Ixodidae) infesting cattle from North-eastern Uganda (Karamoja)

2023-04-12

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background</bold> Ticks and tick-borne diseases (TTBDs) are a significant threat to livestock production in sub-Saharan Africa. Transhumance pastoralism practiced in Karamoja region and other factors like cattle trade, communal grazing and the presence of wildlife predispose cattle to TTBDs. Tick species abundance and distribution data can be used as a tool for early disease diagn...
