“…This introduced wildlife species has been shown to be compatible host for R. microplus together with other tick species of the genus Amblyomma [ 30 ]. This coupled with other studies regarding the movement of nilgai in southern Texas [ 69 , 70 ] highlight the impact of wildlife in the dispersal, control, and eradication of CFT and bovine babesiosis in the U.S. and the transboundary region with Mexico [ 71 ].…”

“…For instance, peak reproductive season in Texas occurs during March and depending on the breeding system (territoriality or harem defense, Leslie 2008), spatial distribution of nilgai may be different during February than November. Commercial hunting during our study on El Sauz may have resulted in emigration but nilgai are not expected to move off‐site as a response to hunting (Foley et al 2017). Thus, differences in our population estimates may be due to large space‐use of nilgai.…”

“…However, collared deer movements in response to a helicopter also resulted in avoidance of detection in about 30% of surveys because deer moved in such a way that observers had no opportunity for detection (Zabransky et al 2016). Foley et al (2017) found that movement rates (150 m/hr) did not differ for nilgai the day before, during, and the day after helicopter surveys. In contrast, Linklater and Cameron (2002) found that all groups of feral horse ( Equus caballus , n = 17) responded to a helicopter and moved an average of 1 km linear distance, including up to 2.75 km.…”

“…Of note, nilgai and oryx are acutely susceptible to FMDV and develop severe lesions when infected 64 65 . Furthermore, nilgai are well established in parts of Texas and north‐eastern Mexico and are believed to contribute to the spread of cattle tick fever across the landscape, 66 advancing the notion that non‐native species can complicate disease transmission patterns. For a thorough review of FMDV susceptibility in various wildlife species, see ref 43 .…”
