Nineteen different tick species have been identified in Western Ethiopia. The most important ticks belong to the genera Amblyomma, Boophilus, Hyalomma and Rhipicephalus, while the major cattle tick-borne diseases are anaplasmosis, babesiosis and theileriosis, T. mutatis.Dipping, hand spraying and spray races for ticks are only practised in the state dairy farms where cross-bred cattle are kept. The main acaricide in use is the chlorinated hydrocarbon, toxaphene. Flumethrin bayticol pour-on is now being used to a limited degree on dairy cattle. Traditional tick control methods which include hand-picking and the application of plant preparations are widely used on indigenous cattle.
