WASHINGTON, March 11, 2021 The U.S. Department of Agriculture s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) today announced that a vaccine used in combination with safer pesticides has eradicated a multi-pesticide resistant population of cattle ticks from a dairy and beef production farm in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico.
In August 2020, multi-pesticide resistant Southern Cattle Ticks (Tropical Cattle Ticks) were detected in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico and immediately considered a threat to the cattle industry. Although Tropical Cattle Ticks are not a public health concern, ARS researchers partnered with the USDA s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), and the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture to establish an ad-hoc research team on the island that would manage and prevent multi-pesticide resistant cattle ticks from spreading to other parts of the island.
