COLUMBIA, Mo. — The discovery of an invasive tick species could mean trouble for Missouri cattle farmers.
Researchers at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine have discovered invasive long-horned ticks in Boone County.
Rosalie Ierardi, a clinical instructor at the MU Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory (VMDL) and doctoral student at the MU College of Veterinary Medicine, discovered the same type of ticks in northern Missouri last year.
The tick has been linked to millions in agricultural damage worldwide and its presence could mean trouble for cattle producers in mid-Missouri. Researchers say the tick species also has the potential to transmit disease to humans.
