==Introduction==
 +
These  species are important due to their  ability to transmit  ''[[Babesia|Babesia spp.]]'' and ''[[Anaplasmas|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.

===''Boophilus annulatus''===
 +
 
 +
Also known as: '''''Blue cattle tick — Texas cattle fever tick
 +
 
 +
The    entire life cycle of this tick is spent on a single host and can be    completed in just 6 weeks. It is an important species as it is a vector    for ''Babesia bigemina'' and ''Babesia bovis'' that are responsible  for  texas cattle fever. As well as its ability to transmit ''Anaplasma    marginale'' like many other tropical hard ticks.
