Article Synopsis
- * Vaccinated cattle in Mbarara showed a 20% reduction in tick numbers, and there was a negative correlation between antibody levels and tick counts.
- * Additionally, a 40% decrease in CCHFV-seropositive cattle was observed in those vaccinated, suggesting that annual booster doses can effectively maintain protective antibody levels against tick-related diseases.
Vaccines are the most effective and sustainable intervention to control ticks and tick-borne diseases (TBD). Using a personalized vaccine design based on regional tick genotypes, a Rhipicephalus appendiculatus Subolesin protective antigen was used in a field trial evaluating tick vaccine efficacy, effectiveness, and safety in cattle infested with multiple tick species in different Ugandan agro-ecological zones. Vaccination with SUB was safe with a protective capacity against anemia and infection, and reduced the number of infested cattle, tick fitness (feeding and reproduction) with vaccine effectiveness against multiple tick species between 93.

Data and perspectives were collected from different countries and regions worldwide, including America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. The results updated the current situation with ticks and TBD and how it is perceived by society with information bias and gaps.
