Invasive cattle ticks in East Africa: morphological and molecular confirmation of the presence of Rhipicephalus microplus in south-eastern Uganda

2020-03-30

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background:Rhipicephalus microplus;an invasive tick species of Asian origin and the main vector of Babesia pecies, is considered one of the most widespread ectoparasites of livestock. The tick has spread from its native habitats on translocated livestock to large parts of the tropical world, where it has replaced some of the local populations of Rhipicephalus decoloratus ticks. Although...
