How to wipe out cattle ticks?

Bovine ticks, commonly known as bovine lice, are arthropods of the family Ixoidea, which feed on warm-blooded vertebrae. They are important vectors of many infectious diseases in humans and lower animals. They secrete neurotoxins and transmit diseases such as Texas bovine fever, microsporidiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, rabbit fever, hemorrhagic fever and encephalitis. Let's take a look at how bovine ticks can be wiped out.

What is the harm of bovine ticks?

Cattle ticks have no pain when biting and sucking blood, and the bite site can cause local hyperemia, edema and secondary infection. The neurotoxin secreted by salivary fluid of some hard ticks and soft ticks in the process of sucking blood can cause conduction block of host motor fibers, cause ascending muscle paralysis, and lead to respiratory failure and death, which is called tick paralysis. Human cases have been reported in Shandong and other places in China.

How to wipe out cattle ticks?

1. Environmental prevention and control: grassland areas adopt pasture rotation and pasture isolation, clean livestock sheds, plug holes and seams to prevent tick breeding and kill rodents.

2. Chemical control: tick habitat and overwintering places can be sprayed with parathion, chlorpyrifos and cis-cypermethrin to kill ticks in regular medicine bath.

3. Biological control: Beauveria bassiana, Beauveria bassiana and Aspergillus fumigatus have lethal effect on ticks. The jumping wasp lays eggs in the tick and develops into an adult resulting in tick death.

4. Personal protection: wear protective clothing when entering areas with ticks, fasten trouser legs, cuffs and necklines, and apply repellent to exposed areas or soak clothes with repellent.
