RESUMO

The cattle tick - Boophilus microplus (Acari: Ixodidae) ? is one of the principal causes of economic losses in the cattle farms in São Paulo state. The current situation of the tick control is characterized by a crisis in the production of new molecules with acaricidal properties and by an increasing in the parasites resistance to the products used to control them. The current study aimed to verifying the sensibility profile of tick B. microplus in farms located in the municipalities of Vale do Ribeira and in the region of Pindamonhangaba, and propose a tick control treatment system based on nymph infestation. The resistance diagnosis tests have been carried by the larval bioassay (Larval packet test), adult immersion test and the survey of the tick control practices applied in both regions. The results for the farms at Pindamonhangaba show that to Cypermethrin 15,4% of the farms were classified as sensible, 7,7% resistance level I, 69,2% resistance level II and 7,7% resistance level III. To deltamethrin 23% were considered sensible, 38,5% Resistance level II, and 38,5% resistance level III. To organophosphate chlorpyriphos 54% presented a sensible frame, 38,4% resistance level I and 7,6% resistance level II. The Vale do Ribeira region presents an average efficacy lower than 20% for all pyrethroids; efficacy between 49% and 72% to associations with pyrethroids and organophosphates; 66,83% to amitraz, and over 90% to organophosphates associations. For the larval test, the cypermethrin presented a percentage of 42,85% from samples sensible; 14,3% resistance level I and 42,85% resistance level II. Deltamethrin, 50% sensible; 25% resistance level II and 25% resistance level III. The organophosphate chlorpyriphos presented a percentage of 50% from samples sensible; 25% resistance level I and 25% resistance level II. It has been proved, that for both regions under this study, there is a lack of knowledge concerning the main chemical groups used in the tick control. The amitraz is the most used and most farms apply the pulverization method when performing the tick control. An experiment taken from 2001 to 2003 in a little farm located in the municipality of Ibiúna has shown the evaluation in the infestation of tick B. microplus in the udder area or escrotum and low perineum is a good criteria to be applied in order to determine the application of anti-ticks. When the application of anti-ticks is undertaken on infested animals full of pathenogens, the field larvae infestation is diminished. Bioassay, using engorged female ticks, undertaken at three months intervals and larval packet test undertaken at six months intervals serve as orientation for the owners for the evaluation of ticks? sensibility to the chemical products
