Resumen
- The tick Boophilus microplus is an ectoparasite that transmitting the babesiosis bovina reducing meat and milk production. In order to determine the populational dynamics of Boophilus microplus on dual purpose bovines, it was evaluated different factor such as season and farm management. At field level, it was quantified and gathered teleoginas Boophilus microplus each fifteen days. The results indicated that the populational fluctuation is highly independent on interaction of season and farm management, being greater (P
