Abstract
The brown dog tick is unusual among ticks in that it can complete its entire life cycle indoors as well as outdoors. Brown dog tick infestations can develop in dog kennels and residences, where populations can reach dramatic levels and cause dog diseases. This 6-page fact sheet written by and published by the UF/IFAS provides the distribution, description and identification, life cycle, and management of the brown dog tick as well as its hosts and the medical and veterinary significance of this troublesome pest. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in378 This article is co-published with the Featured Creatures collection of UF/IFAS Department of Entomology & Nematology, and FDACS/DPI, available at http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/medical/brown_dog_tick.htm
