Development and survival of cattle tick in Brachiaria decumbens pasture in Pedro Leopoldo, MG, Brazil

A study of the nonparasitic stages of cattle tick (Boophilus microplus, Canestrini, 1887) was carried out in the region of Pedro Leopoldo, MG, Brazil, during the period of November, 1983 and February, 1987. The development and survival of the nonparasitic stages of the cattle tick were investigated under field conditions. During the years 1983 to 1986, engorged female ticks were distributed freely in pastures of Brachiaria decumbens at intervals of 14 days to determine the period to hatching and of survival of the larval. The duration of eclosion and larval survival were influenced by climatic changes, principally in temperature, during the seasons varying from five weeks in the Summer to 16 weeks in the Autumn, and from eight weeks towards the end of Spring to 20 weeks in the Autumn, respectively. The hatching of larval of B. microplus and their presence in the pastures were detected during all the months of the year.

O estudo da fase não-parasitária do Boophilus microplus (Canestrini, 1887) foi realizado no município de Pedro Leopoldo, MG, no período de novembro de 1983 a fevereiro de 1987. O desenvolvimento e a sobrevivência dos estágios não-parasitários do carrapato B. microplus foram investigados em condições de campo. Durante os anos de 1983 a 1986, fêmeas ingurgitadas foram distribuídas livremente nas pastagens de Brachiaria decumbens, em intervalos de 14 dias, e determinados os períodos pré-eclosão e de sobrevivência das larvas. As durações dos períodos de pré-eclosão e de sobrevivência das larvas foram influenciadas pelas mudanças climáticas, principalmente em relação à temperatura, durante as estações, variando de cinco semanas no verão a 16 semanas no outono, e de oito semanas no final da primavera a 20 semanas no outono, respectivamente. A eclosão das larvas de B. microplus e sua presença nas pastagens foram detectadas em todos os meses do ano.
