Cowdriosis occurs across the African continent, particularly in '''South Africa'''.

Cowdriosis is transmitted by '''bont [[Ticks |ticks]]''', mainly of the [[Amblyoma spp.|''Amblyomma'' genus]] (''A. variegatum'' and ''A. hebraeum'') but also [[Rhipicephalus spp.|''Rhipicephalus'']], [[Hyalomma spp.|''Hyalomma'']], and ''Glossina'' species and the ''[[Sarcoptes|Sarcoptes scabei]]'' mite. Both adults and nymphs of tick species can transmit disease.

Heartwater is therefore also a risk for countries where the ''Amblyomma'' tick is present, such as mainland America, Asia and the Caribbean, although disease may cutrently not be.
