This study aimed at determine the status of hard ticks (Ixodidae) of cattle in and around Debub bench(southwestern Ethiopia), Debub bench Woreda which is selected purposively based on the extent of the existing problems, the complaints of farmers and the level of medium to high ticks challenge in the areas. The prevalence of bovine tick was studied over a period of 6 months from December 2016-June 2017. Ticks were collected from 450 local and cross breed cattle which were kept under extensive management system .A total of 1191 ticks were collected from body part of cattle, and were identified to both genus and species level. Two genuses, Boophilus, Amblyomma were identified, the total prevalence of tick infestation in the study area during this research was 80.6%, constituting of 47.8 % (570/1191) Amblyommaand 52 % (621/1191) Boophilus. All visible attached adult ticks of all species were collected from five body region (head, brisket, udder, tail, and scrotum) of each cattle. The study indicated that there was high prevalence of ticks in the area. The higher prevalence in the current study was due to agro climate condition (rainfall, humidity, and temperature), host density and poor management system. Therefore it is recommended that it's better to develop the best control strategies of tick.
