    abstract = {A survey was done to document ethnobotanicals for managing and controlling tick vectors of deadly cattle diseases. About 100 respondents aged 45 years and more distributed among 10 sub-counties of Gulu and Amuru districts in Northern Uganda were interviewed for their knowledge of plants with anti-tick properties and/or plant species used to manage ticks on cattle. All respondents were drawn from cattle keeping households. The plants were documented in both local and scientific names. A total of 13 plant species falling into 8 different botanical families were documented as locally known to control ticks. A mechanism for propagating these ethnoknowledge as well as conservation measures particularly for the plant species with high use frequency as reported by the locals therefore need to be developed.}
