Influence of Some Climatic Factors and Cattle Coat on the Seasonal Kinetics of Ticks and the Variation of Tick Density in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Cameroon
Author(s): Marie Therese Mailaiso, Pierre Saotoing* and Mamoudou Abdoulmoumini
Cattle infestation by ticks is a limiting factor for the development of livestock breeding in the semi-arid part of Cameroon. The local traditional strategies implemented to control the infestation of cattle by these parasites have had a lot of limitations. To remedy this, there was need to investigate on ticks’ ecology. Thus, a study was carried out in this region from August 2019 to July 2020 to determine the influence of climatic factors and cattle coat colour on the dynamics, the community structure and the diversity of tick in traditional breeding systems. From these enquiries, it stems that rainfall and humidity were favourable for the development of Amblyomma variegatum, Hyalomma marginatum rufipes, Hyalomma truncatum and Hyalomma impeltattum tick species. A significant difference (P<0.0001) between the density of different tick spec.. View more»
