The new finding indicates a looming problem for cattle health in the Midwest.
This tick, which was originally found in eastern Russia and the Australasian region, was discovered in the United States for the first time in 2017 in New Jersey. Since then, it has spread throughout the Mid-Atlantic, New England, and Midwestern regions of the United States. Now, researchers from theLast year, the Longhorned tick was found in the southern part of the state. This recent finding signals an additional economic burden to cattle farmers owing to ticks.
While there have currently not been any confirmed cases of bovine theileriosis in Missouri cattle, this discovery further heightens the need for Missouri cattle ranchers to make informed decisions regarding quarantining protocols when introducing new cattle into their herds in an effort to protect the health of their livestock, which has significant economic implications.
Ierardi collaborated on the project with Ram Raghavan, a professor at the MU College of Veterinary Medicine and MU School of Health Professions. Raghavan, who has been tracking the spread of various species of ticks in the U.S. for 15 years, predicted the potential geographic distribution of the Longhorned tick back in 2019. So far, the tick appears to be establishing in the areas that he had predicted in that study.
