Article Synopsis
- Tick paralysis is a serious condition caused by toxins from tick saliva, affecting domestic animals like goats, sheep, dogs, and cats in Cyprus, particularly on the Akamas peninsula.
- * Affected animals show no other neurological issues, maintain normal blood parameters, and typically recover quickly after tick removal.
- * The condition exhibits periodic cycles of occurrence every 3 and 7 years, with variations in severity, pointing to the need for research into the toxins involved and potential vaccine development to protect free-ranging livestock.
