The Potential Impact of the Asian Longhorned Tick and Theileriosis on Cattle

Presented by Dr. Cassandra Olds, Kansas State University, Department of Entomology

The Asian Longhorned Tick is capable of reproducing rapidly and transmitting disease to cattle. It has been detected in 27 states across the US since its first detection in New Jersey in 2017 and is moving west. Early detection is increasingly important for livestock producers.
