SUMMARY: Researchers at Oklahoma State University warn cattle producers about the deadly Asian Longhorned Tick (ALT), first detected in the U.S. a decade ago and recently found in Oklahoma. Unlike lone star ticks, ALT lacks a bright white spot and is very small, about half the usual tick size. It reproduces asexually, allowing one female to lay up to 2,500 eggs, causing potentially fatal blood loss in cattle.

Ranchers are urged to check livestock regularly and contact veterinarians if ticks are found to help control the spread.
