Abstract excerpt
Densities of Amblyomma americanum (L.) on Bos indicus, B. taurus and B. indicus X B. taurus cattle are compared over a 3-year period, and the growth rate (rate of increase or decrease) of parasitic tick populations on each cattle genotype is estimated. Average log10 densities of parasitic A. americanum larvae are significantly (P = 0.05) lower on B. indicus cattle than on B. taurus and B. indicus XB. taurus...
