Abstract

Hyalomma anatolicum, the multi host tick is the commonest species genus Hyalomma in India and cattle act as the main definitive host. The present study was conducted to assess the efficacy of cypermethrin, deltamethrin and fipronil against the H. anatolicum ticks collected from an unorganised cross-breed cattle farm and role of housing of cattle to the tick infestation.
Adult immersion test (AIT) was performed and efficacy of different acaricides were assessed. The results obtained by the AIT showed a low level of resistance (Level-I) to deltamethrin, while in case of cypermethrin and fipronil, ticks were found susceptible. The RR50 values were obtained as 0.32, 1.67 and 1.09 for cypermethrin, deltamethrin and fipronil. On cytological examination, small to large vacuoles were observed in digestive cells. Degeneration in digestive cells were also observed. On observation of cattle barn it was seen that the owner not maintained the farm in a organised manner and animals were kept with feeding and bedding materials which was form suitable conditions for tick propagation in barn. The H. anatolicumis a multi-host tick, So chances of exposed to repeated application of acaricides are very less, this may be the reason behind the susceptibility of ticks against these most commonly used chemicals to control the tick infestation.
