The
cattle tick (Hyalomma impeltatum Schulze and Schlottke) is widely distributed in Saudi Arabia, the Near East and south-western part of Central Asia and Africa north of the equator (Apanaskevich and Horak, 2009).
In cross breed
cattle tick infestation (38.88%) was also high in calve up to 1 year as compare to 1 to 3 year, 3 to 5 and above 5 years was (14.81%, 20% and 22% respectively).
Agriculture and other specialists from around the world address arthropod pests in the poultry industry, Brachycera flies in dairy farms, the
cattle tick, and sheep myiasis; trypanosomosis, mosquito-borne diseases in the livestock industry, bluetongue virus, and tick-borne anaplasmosis, cowdriosis, and babesiosis; interventions like the use of an anti-tick vaccine for integrated cattle fever tick eradication in the US, biological control with parasitoids, entomopathogens, semiochemical tools for livestock pest control, genetic control of vectors, biosecurity, and a simulation model of stable flies and their control; and the impact of vector control, including costs.

Guerrero and his team sequenced the
cattle tick genome, which is about 2.5 times the size of the human genome, they identified genes they are now using to develop a new vaccine against cattle fever ticks.
