Abstract
A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2018 to April 2019 to estimate prevalence of tick infestation and the associated risk factoris on small ruminant’s population in and around Gondar town. The study was carried out through physical examination and laboratory identification of ticks. Out of 245 small ruminants (165 sheep and 80 goats) examined, 51.02% were found infested with ticks. The prevalence of tick infestation in goats and sheep was found to be 43.75% and 52.72%, respectively.
