Hyalomma anatolicum anatolocum is one of the most important tick species in India (Geeverghese and Dhanda, 1987), which assumed noticeable importance because of its role as the major vector of the hemoprotozoan parasites. Besides, the role of Hyalomma species in transmitting the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus in humans has been established in different countries (Karti et al., 2004). Ticks produce severe economic losses through blood-sucking and acting as vectors of pathogens and toxins. In India alone, the cost of tick and tick-borne diseases (TTBDs) in animals has been estimated to the tune of approx. Two thousand crores (Ghosh et al., 2007). Scanty literature is available pertaining to the life cycle of H. a. anatolicum in general and from Madhya Pradesh in particular. Therefore, the present study was designed to record the period of oviposition and hatching of eggs in H. a. anatolicum.

Ringworm is a fungal infection that can affect humans and animals, causing hair loss and scaly skin. Cows are particularly prone to this infection, with symptoms often appearing on their head, neck, and other parts of the body. A recent study was conducted at LFC, Apollo College of Veterinary Medicine in Jaipur, and on various farms found that 20 cattle calves between three months to one year old had skin lesions and tested positive for Trichophyton sp. Treatment with a 2% liq. Povidone iodine application, followed by a topical application of Whitefield ointment twice a day for 15 consecutive days, resulted in full recovery for all affected cows.
