Abstract
The study was conducted on a dairy farm, subjected to incursions of game animals, where East Coast fever (ECF) is a common problem. Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks are present on the farm and ECF is currently controlled by dipping in amitraz. The objective of this study was to assess the risk from tick-borne diseases (TBDs) so that alternative methods of control could be considered.
