Abstract | ||||
Ticks are responsible for transmitting viral, bacterial, and protozoal diseases to humans and animals and also cause significant economic damage to the livestock industry. The owner of the farmhouse prefers to use acaricides, a key component of tick control strategies. However, the indiscriminate and irresponsible use of acaricides has a detrimental effect on the increase in the contamination of the environment, acaricide resistance in ticks, and its residues in milk and meat of the animal. There is now ample evidence that vaccination can provide significant immunity to tick and tick-borne diseases [1]. The COVID-19 virus, like its predecessor, the SARS virus (and other emerging diseases), is thought to have spread to humans through animal markets of Wuhan a central city in China [2]. Fortunately, the ticks do not spread this virus, but the COVID-19 virus is responsible for all those factors that can cause it to spread rapidly to animals. | ||||
