Additionally, they are responsible fortransmitting livestock diseases, including babesiosis and anaplasmosis. Generally, tick-borne diseases correspond to a specific tick-host combination, andare limited in their geographical extent. Ticks are often found in tall grass, where they will rest themselves at the tip of a blade so as to attach themselves to apassing animal or human.
