These species are important due to their ability to transmit ''[[Babesia|Babesia spp.]]'' and ''[[Anaplasma marginale]]'' in cattle. They exist in tropical and subtropical climates and so are predominately found in Asia, Africa, central America and northern Australia. There are several important veterinary species, all of which are one host ticks and are mainly important in cattle though they can be seen in most ungulates.
