They are vividly coloured (especially the males) and have a substantial impact on livestock, primarily through their transmission of diseases. They are three-host hard ticks (where each life stage completes a blood meal on a particular host before dropping-off and ecdysis) that have been found on a variety of domesticated species such camels, cattle, goats, sheep, dogs, and various species of wildlife.
