THE FACTS: The program to create a modified cattle tick, with the goal of reducing their population and protecting livestock, has thus far been limited to lab work in the U.K.

There have also been range expansions in southern New England for the Gulf Coast tick, which carries a bacteria similar to the one that causes Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and the invasive cattle tick, which can transmit Lyme disease and other illnesses.

The US government, it was reported in 1918, was “making war on the cattle tick”.

The common Cattle tick Boophilus bovis Riley, is represented at Fig. 134.

As a young BAI inspector in the early 1900s, John Mohler set out to rid the U.S. of cattle tick fever.
