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.
