In Uganda, the most common ticks responsible for high economic losses are the brown ear ticks (Rhipicephalus appendiculatus), blue ticks (R. decoloratus), bont ticks (Amblyomma variegatum) and red ticks (R. evertsi). These ticks infest cattle, goats, sheep while transmitting disease organisms. Wild ruminants usually act as their natural hosts.
