A survey study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of ixodid ticks in cattle population of Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Every month, ticks were collected from 9511 cattle belonging to randomly selected 5 villages of each tehsil, viz. Indore, Mhow, Depalpur, Sanwer and Hatod. The current study revealed an overall tick prevalence of 58.87% with significantly high prevalence of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (42.89%) than Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum (11.82%) and mixed infestation (4.16%). Season-wise, significantly high prevalence was recorded in monsoon (71.08%) than summer (62.28%) and winter (52.12%). Amongst the various age groups, significantly high tick infestation was encountered in 1-3 year-old (78.63%) than >3 year-old (56.79%) and is less than 1 year-old cattle (52.92%). Sex-wise, significantly high tick infestation was documented in males (66.01%) than their female (58.06%) counterparts. Tehsil-wise, significantly high prevalence was evident in Mhow tehsil (69.12%) as compared to Indore (61.40%), Depalpur (57.27%), Sanwer (55.28%) and Hatod (50.14%) tehsils.

Blood fever and Chikungunya cases in Indonesia are increasing annually. For preventing the mosquios, people use mosquito coil which is contain dangerous chemical compound. This research has successly created a natural mosquito coil with gemor bark and hazelnut fruit shell as the main material. Gemor bark is positive containing alcaloid,tanin, phenolk, flvonoid, triterpnoid and glycocydic compounds which are natural bioinsecticide. As formulation the comparison of gemor bark and hazelnut shell as follow :100% : 0 %  ; 80 % : 20 % ; 65 % : 35 % ; 50 % : 50 % ; 35 % : 65% and 20 % : 80% were used. Base one random variance analysis, the best formula was the using of gemor bark in 50%, 35% and  20% of concentration. The mosquitos killing force analysis was using the LT50 for 6 days with 5 diferent concentrations. The result showed that 50 %  of gemor bark was significantly influenced in the killing force. From the economic view, the producion of this coil was cheaper then the same product in the maket. Base on all the result, the research product is applicable in mass producion and safe for human health and the environment.Keywords: gemor bark , hazelnut fruit shell ,  mosquito coil, natural ,  ecofriendly
