It is important to know that the carrapato of the bovines is different of the cattle tick of the equines. In this text the common cattle tick of the bovines will be argued only (Boophilus microplus), mainly of the milk bovines, whose way of combat is different of that it is made for cut bovines. The importance of the cattle tick for the creation, is that they harm the animals when sucking the blood and to transmit the parasites that cause the Parasitic Sadness, Piroplasmose or Doença of the carrapato.
