Abstract

DE LA VEGA, R et al. WEIGHT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN Boophilus microplus (IXODOIDEA: IXODIDAE) FROM BRAZIL AND FROM CUBA. Rev Salud Anim. [online]. 2007, vol.29, n.1, pp.36-38. ISSN 0253-570X.

Weights of engorged females and recently molted adults Boophilus microplus (both females and males) from Cuba and Brazil were compared by means of t-Student tests. It was observed that Brazilian ticks were always significantly heavier than those from Cuba. Some comments about the possible causes, significance of observation and further researches to be performed are offered.

Keywords : garrapatas; peso; Boophilus; Ixodoidea; Ixodidae.
