Acaricide resistance in livestock ticks infesting cattle in Africa: Current status and potential mitigation strategies [PDF]

, 2022
In many African countries, tick control has recently been the responsibility of resource-poor farmers rather than central government veterinary departments. This has led to an increase in acaricide resistance, threatening the welfare of livestock farmers
