Management Bulletin No. 2: Solving the Mystery of How to Treat Nilgai for Cattle Fever Ticks

Researchers studied how to treat nilgai antelope for cattle fever ticks in South Texas, examining both latrine sites and fence crossings as potential treatment locations. They discovered that neither option was ideal for widespread tick control, with latrines being too numerous and fence crossings hosting too many non-target wildlife species, highlighting the need for a more targeted approach to managing tick transmission.
