    Epidemiology of ticks and tick-borne protozoan and rickettsial infections of cattle in Karamoja region, Uganda
    (Makerere University, 2025) Etiang Patrick
    Livestock production is the main source of social and economic livelihoods for communities in Karamoja region. However, tick-borne Protozoan and Rickettsia infections pose a major threat to livestock production and lead to significant economic losses, which impact the livelihoods and the social setup of the Karimojong. To improve livestock production, efforts to address animal health are required; therefore, vector and parasite control is of vital significance. Standardised vector and parasite surveys are essential in providing up-to-date data to guide in the formulation and implementation of these programmes. To this end, a cross-sectional survey was undertaken to determine the prevalence, distribution and diversity of the major tick-borne haemoparasites / pathogens (TBH) infecting cattle, and the tick species infesting cattle in the Karamoja region as well as to understand the knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices of the Karimojong towards ticks and tick-borne diseases (TTBD). This study involved the collection of ticks and blood samples from 3,540 cattle drawn from a total of 59 villages in the wet and dry seasons in six districts of Karamoja. In addition to the tick and blood surveys was a qualitative survey to understand the perceptions of the pastoralist towards TTB
