From October 27 to November 10, 2014, a study was conducted in the districts of the frontier region of Burundi following the main roads from Tanzania; routes followed by entries of new cattle breeds to the Democratic Republic of Congo. These cattle input motions are more oriented in the Ruzizi plain. These breeds of cattle are more efficient in the production of meat, dairy, with a large build, the sale gives more money per adult cattle or younger. These cattle breeds are: The hybrid SAHIWALE, Ankole from Tanzania; Friesian from Uganda, MONTEBERIALE, SWITZERLAND and BROWN JERSEY. These cattle during their imports also come with mites ectoparasites, including Rhipicephalus appendiculatus 64.9%; Rhipicephalus evesti evesti 2.8%; Hyalomma 0.17%; Boophilus decoloratus 15.8%; Amblyomma variegatum 16.9% and Haemaphysalis leachi leachi 0.01%. A species of ticks is Hyalomma truncatum recently introduced following the inputs of these new breeds of cattle.

Du 27 Octobre au 10 Novembre 2014, une étude a été conduite dans les districts de la région frontalière du Burundi en suivant les routes principales venant de la Tanzanie ; routes suivies par les entrées des nouvelles races de bovins vers la République Démocratique du Congo. Ces mouvements d’entrée des bovins se trouvent plus orientés dans la plaine de la Ruzizi. Ces races de bovins sont plus performantes en production de viande, laitière, ayant une grosse carrure, à la vente procure plus d’argent par bovin quoiqu’étant adulte ou jeune. Ces races de bovins sont : Les hybride de SAHIWALE, ANKOLE venant de la Tanzanie ; FRISONNE venant de l’Ouganda, MONTEBERIALE, BRUN SUISSE et le JERSEY. Ces bovins lors de leurs importations, viennent aussi avec des ectoparasites acariens, dont Rhipicephalus appendiculatus 64,9% ; Rhipicephalus evesti evesti 2,8% ; Hyalomma 0,17% ; Boophilus decoloratus 15,8% ; Amblyomma variegatum 16,9% et Haemaphysalis leachi leachi 0,01%. Une espèce des tiques Hyalomma truncatum est d’introduction récente en suivant les entrées de ces nouvelles races de bovins.
