Cover Story: Ticks pose a significant threat to livestock in Cameroon. This study analyzed ticks from two key regions: agroecological zone I (AEZ I) and zone III (AEZ III). A total of 1100 ticks were collected, with Hyalomma truncatum (39.9%), Amblyomma variegatum (31%), and the invasive, acaricide-resistant Rhipicephalus microplus (10.64%) being the most common. R. microplus, a major disease vector, is outcompeting native ticks and poses a serious risk to animal and public health. This research highlights the need for better control strategies to manage R. microplus and safeguard livestock in Cameroon and the broader region. View this paper
