Abstract

The article emphasizes the importance of protecting livestock from two-host ticks, specifically red-legged and bont ticks in South Africa. Topics include tick species, diseases like sweating sickness and Congo fever, and recommendations for control methods such as synthetic pyrethroids, amitraz, and organophosphates, with caution regarding the use of the latter due to its impact on oxpeckers.
