Abstract

The research and the control of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus require a lot of information, concerning the abiotic elements as well as the biotic elements. One of the most important elements in the relationship between the host effect and the tick population is the bovine effect on the tick population. A search was performed in the following databases: SciELO, MEDLINE, PUBMED, SCIENCE DIRECT and LILACS. The keywords used for search for articles were: 1) Keywords - bovine, tick, oviposition in English and in Portuguese; and 2) Scientific name of specie - Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus and Boophilus microplus. Thus, the utilization of biologic parameters of R. (B.) microplus is essential, fundamentally those related with the non-parasitic phase. To assist the work with this important parasite, we compiled the values cited in literature of the biologic parameters of the non parasitic phase of femalesof R. (B.) microplus, and its descendant.
