%X The study assessed the prevalence of tick-borne parasites in domestic ruminants in relation to the control and/or management practices applied by farmers against ticks and TBDs in Gulu district, Uganda. Blood smears were made from 552 domestic ruminants (cattle, sheep and goats) under open grazing (agro-pastoral), tethering and zero-grazing systems to determine the prevalence of tick-borne parasites from January-March, 2008. The significance of the relationships between prevalence of tick-borne parasites and management system, ruminant type and sex of the animal were analyzed using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Fisher Least Significant Difference (FLSD).
