But an interesting thing happens when female African cattle ticks feed.

The resin has been used to get rid of warts and cattle ticks.

They were introduced to combine the resistance to cattle ticks and greater tolerance of hot weather.

The cattle tick invaded the district soon afterwards, killing up to 50% of cattle on some properties.

A deer pesticide program in Texas was successful in killing cattle ticks that fed on deer.

Cattle tick reached the property in 1918-19, probably transferred from Louisa Downs Station where the stock had been infected in 1916-17.

But the garrapateros are still needed as long as cattle ticks continue to ignore manmade borders and spread with ease.

(Boophilus, the scientific name for cattle ticks, comes from the Latin for "ox-lover.")

These ticks, commonly known as cattle ticks or blue ticks, have a highly characteristic morphology and one-host life-cycle.

Many new breeds were developed from these imports and this led to cattle that were much more tolerant to the Top End heat and cattle ticks.

It was probably introduced as early as 1829 by cattle from Indonesia infested with the cattle tick Boophilus microplus.

His role in fighting the cattle tick and boll weevil infestations endeared him to many of the state's farmers and gained the respect of regional agricultural experts.

Acorus calamus may prove to be an effective control measure against cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus.

Cattle ticks first appeared at Yeeda, Kimberley Downs and Obagama in 1916 causing outbreaks of red-water fever in the herds.

At LSU, Morgan studied two parasitical insects, the cattle tick and the cotton boll weevil, both of which had proven destructive to farmers in the state.

In 1889 and 1893, Dr. Theobald Smith made discoveries which implicated cattle ticks as the necessary developmental host of the causal agent of Texas cattle fever.

In Australia, bovine anaplasmosis, caused by Anaplasma marginale, is only found in the northern and eastern parts of Australia where the cattle tick is present.

The measure also provides money to suppress all sorts of agricultural pests, like cattle ticks, screwworms, boll weevils, golden nematodes, witchweed, jointed goatgrass and apple fire blight.

From 1919 until 1924 Myers was employed as entomologist in the Biological Division of the New Zealand Department of Agriculture, where he worked on the cattle tick and other pests.

Some Adaptaurs carry a gene that produces extremely high resistance to cattle ticks and the Australian Hereford Society is assisting to increase frequency of the gene by embryo transfer.

Ticks of domestic animals that transmit Babesia, causing much disease, include the very widespread cattle ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, and R.(B.) decoloratus.

The development of the breed was governed by strict selection for heat tolerance, milk production and cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) resistance to result in the modern AMZ breed.

A similar disease in cattle, commonly known as tick fever, is spread by Babesia bovis and B. bigemina in the introduced cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus.

The breed was established on the Belmont Research Station near Rockhampton, Queensland and cattle were selected primarily for increased resistance and/or tolerance to tropical heat and cattle ticks (Boophilus microplus).
