An investigation was conducted on ticks that infect cattle in the province of North Kivu, a province in agro-pastoral vocation. The method of sampling ticks on cattle was used. The result shows that in the North Kivu Province infestations of cattle tick are dominated by the species Boophilus decoloratus (59.7%; followed by Amblyomma variegatum (35.5%) and finally Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (4.8%). The source of these ticks rest from movement of cattle internally and those from outside by import.

Abstract: (french)
Une investigation a été menée sur les tiques qui parasitent les bovins dans la province du Nord-Kivu, une province à vocation agropastorale. La méthode de prélèvement des tiques sur les bovins a été utilisée. Le résultat montre que dans la province du Nord-Kivu les infestations des bovins par les tiques sont plus dominées par l'espèce Boophilus decoloratus (59,7% ; suivie de l'Amblyomma variegatum (35,5%) puis enfin de Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (4,8%). La source de provenance de ces tiques reste le mouvement des bovins à l'interne et ceux venant de l'extérieur par importation.
