Tick infestation is a common problem encountered in mithun (Bos frontalis), resulting
in reduced productivity besides transmitting infections to the host. Present study on the tick
infestation on mithun was undertaken at Jharnapani and Porba mithun farms of the National
Research Centre on Mithun (semi-intensive) as well as free ranging condition of Nagaland and
Mizoram. Present study showed the ixodid tick of the genus Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus
was the most prominent tick infesting mithun in this region. A pilot study was undertaken
with crude aqueous extracts of neem and tobacco to evaluate the effect of these plant extracts
on the survival of the above tick species. Two synthetic acaricides viz., ivermectin and
cypermethrin were also used to compare the efficacy of these acaricides against R. (B).
microplus. Crude aqueous extract of the tobacco was found highly efficacious against the tick
infestations at a low concentration whereas, neem was found effective at much higher
concentration. Ivermectin (1m/50 kg body weight S/C) was the most effective synthetic acaricide
against R. (B). microplus in this study.
