Did you know that ticks were found on one in seven equids according to the 2015 USDA APHIS | National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) study? Ticks can transmit serious diseases, including Lyme disease and equine piroplasmosis.

Would you be interested in knowing if equine tick infestations have changed in the last 10 years? What other information would you like to know about the equine industry?
