Article Synopsis
- Fort Munro, a hill station in Southern Punjab, relies on livestock for income, but ticks pose a significant threat to the animals.
- During a study in August and September 2022, researchers collected 273 ticks from 333 goats and sheep, identifying two main genera: Rhipicephalus (78.02%) and Hyalomma (21.98%).
- Rhipicephalus ticks preferred goats while Hyalomma ticks were more commonly found on sheep; tick abundance varied by sex and location, providing important information for future tick control measures in the region.
