Abstract

The studies on the prevalence of ixodid ticks during July 1991 to June 1992 in five thanas of Chittagong hilly area in Bangladesh revealed that 65.45% cattle and 44.4% goats were infested with Boophilus microplus, Rhipicephalus appendiculatus and Haemaphysallis bispinosa. Aside these, only 4.62% cattle were found infested with Amblyomma sp. The tick infestation was highest in summer and declined gradually through rainy season to lowest in winter.
