Ticks in Cattle Pastures: A Focus on the Asian Longhorned Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis)
Ticks are an emerging concern for cattle producers, with several tick species occurring in pastures and along pasture edges. This talk will review the biology, identification, habitat, and seasonal activity of important cattle-associated ticks, with a particular focus on the invasive Asian longhorned tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis). We will discuss how to recognize Asian longhorned ticks, where they are most likely to be found, potential concerns for cattle health, and approaches for monitoring and managing ticks in pasture-based production systems.
