All Tick-Borne Diseases and Ticks

Ticks that parasitize livestock and the diseases they carry between animals, such as heartwater and anaplasmosis. An entry belongs here when its cited article calls it a tick or a tick-borne disease. Ticks harm livestock directly by feeding and by damaging hides, and indirectly by passing on infections that can kill or stunt animals, so tick control and tick-borne disease control are usually managed together through dipping, spraying, pasture management and vaccination. This heading gathers the ticks and tick-borne diseases of the atlas so a visitor can compare them.
