Impact of geo-climatic factors on the prevalence and diversity of tick fauna in <i>Achai</i> cattle of the northern Hindukush Mountains, Khyber pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan
Achai cattle are mostly susceptible to the tick species R. microplus, which might be due to its richness in the study area. Furthermore, the results regarding the impact of geo-climatic conditions on the diversity and richness of the tick species could be considered in preventive policies for tick control.
