New page

*In warmer climates where rainfall is present all year round and there is a constant high relative humidity, tick activity may be constant throughout the year

*If there is a limited vegetation mat, tick activity will mainly be influenced by seasonal rainfall and the vegetation transpiration

*In temperate climates there is usually 2 distinct periods of tick activity coinciding with warmer temperatures
**E.g. spring and autumn

*Some temperate climates only have 1 distinct period of tick activity in the spring

===Control methods===

'''Killing ticks on the ground'''
*Altering micro-climate
**E.g. Pasture improvement
*Starving (spelling) pasture
**Only useful if ticks do not feed on other hosts
*Burning pasture to kill off ticks on the ground

'''Separate the host from the infection'''
*Stock management
**Removing stock from infected pasture when ticks are most active
*Fencing off infected areas

'''Killing ticks on the host'''
*Acaricides
*E.g. Dipping, spraying, pour-on solutions
*For more information on acaricides see [[Ectoparasiticides|here]]

'''Enhancing host resistance'''
*Stock hybridisation
**E.g. Breeding the higher resistant ''Bos indicus'' with the less resistant ''Bos taurus''
*Vaccination against the hidden antigens in the tick's gut
