Cattle ticks and mites are among the most significant ectoparasites affecting livestock health and productivity in Uttar Pradesh (UP), India. The state’s diverse agro-climatic zones and dense cattle population create an ideal environment for the proliferation of various tick and mite species. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the occurrence, taxonomy, biology, ecology, and economic impact of key ectoparasitic species, particularly Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, Hyalomma anatolicum, and mange-causing mites such as Sarcoptes scabiei and Psoroptes ovis. The study highlights seasonal infestation trends, resistance patterns to commonly used acaricides, and emerging challenges in control strategies. Furthermore, the zoonotic and vector-borne disease implications of these ectoparasites, such as babesiosis and anaplasmosis, are discussed in the context of public health and veterinary concern. Emphasis is laid on integrated tick and mite management (ITMM), combining chemical, biological, and ecological approaches suited to the socio-economic realities of rural UP. This work aims to serve as a scientific resource for veterinarians, livestock farmers, and policymakers working towards sustainable livestock health management in the region.
