Book (series)Expert consultation on the sustainable management of parasites in livestock challenged by the global emergence of resistance

It has been estimated that eighty percent of the world's cattle population is exposed to tick infestation. Chemical control, dipping or spraying infested cattle with acaricides is the primary method of dealing with the cattle tick problem. However, widespread exposure to acaricides, often at sub-effective concentrations, has resulted in selecting resistant tick populations. Hence, acaricide resistance in livestock ticks negatively affects the livelihoods of millions of livestock producers. FAO organized a virtual expert consultation on 9-10 November 2021 on the sustainable management of parasites in livestock challenged by the global emergence of resistance. This report (part 1) concerns the first consultation, focusing on acaricide resistance. The purpose of the expert consultation was to provide FAO with a global overview of the current situation regarding the sustainable management of livestock ticks and enable FAO to re-enter the area of ticks and tick-borne livestock diseases in the (sub) tropics. In addition to animal health risks and production losses, there are also human health risks and environmental concerns over acaricides. Finally, the extensive use of antibiotics to prevent transmission of some of the major tick-borne diseases affecting livestock in (sub) tropical regions has raised concerns. -
