RESUMO

There were made sensibility-tests in vitro of acaricides in engorged female Boophilus microplus, ticks coming from 12 cattle farms localized in different municipes in Rio de Janeiro-state, from March to September 2002. The following active principles, with the respective concentrations, were tested: Amitraz 250 ppm, cipermetrine high CIS 250 ppm, cipermetrine high CIS + DDVP 500 ppm and clorpyrifos + DDVP 500 ppm. Two groups of 10 engorged female ticks were used for each principle. Two groups with 10 females were used as controls, being treated with destilled water. The found results of the medium efficacy and the range (on amplitude) were: amitraz 45.40% (10.16 87.54); cipermetrine high CIS 37.61% (13.62 61.71); cipermetrine high CIS + DDVP 42.27% (23.87 76.87) and clorpyrifos + DDVP 88.95% (62.76 99.73). The active principles amitraz, cipermetrine high CIS and cipermetrine high CIS + DDVP were less efficient than the product containing clorpyrifos + DDVP, who proved out to being 11 of the studied cattlefarms. These differences in efficient treatment and control of tick B. microplus point out to the necessity of tests as well as for permanent monitoring control in order to find out the best acaricides for each farm.
