Comparative study of hatching estimation methods of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus eggs [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2018
Reproductive parameters of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus are often evaluated. They are good indicators of resistance to commercial acaricides and of plant extracts' efficacy. The objective of this study was to compare the techniques: visual estimation and quantification by sampling used in the Adult Immersion Test (AIT) to calculate the hatching ...
