About cows:
- Tick damage: Ticks can cause severe damage to cattle, particularly around the udder and ears. The wounds will often get infected with bacteria and might be attacked by flies.
- Tick-borne diseases: Ticks can also infect cattle with redwater, gallsickness and eartwater. European breeds tend to be at greater risk from these diseases than ndigenous and Brahman type breeds. Older animals are more at risk than young animals for redwater and gallsickness.
- Redwater: Redwater is caused by the blue tick. Left is the male with the female on the right. Signs of redwater are fever, lack of appetite, red urine, pale to yellow gums and eyes, and sometimes nervous signs such as difficulty in walking. This disease can lead to deaths if the animals are not treated in time.
- Gallsickness: Apart from being passed to cattle by ticks, gallsickness can also be spread among cattle by blood, for example by biting insects, dehorning and injecting the animals with the same needle. Signs of gallsickness are depression, lack of appetite, fever, pale to yellow gums and eyes, as well as constipation.The animal can be sick for a longer period than in the case of redwater or heartwater.
- Heartwater: Signs of heartwater are fever, depression, high-stepping, leading to convulsions and death.
