Ohio's Deadly Tick Invasion: Cows Fall Victim to Bloodthirsty Parasite
Researchers from The Ohio State University are monitoring and trying to control the Asian longhorned tick population, which has become established in Ohio. The arrival of this invasive species has resulted in the death of three cows due to severe blood loss. The Asian longhorned tick is native to East Asia but has been found in various parts of North America, Australia, and New Zealand, posing a threat to livestock and potentially humans.
