Abstract
Several authors, such as Minning (1934), Bedford (1934), Theiler (1943), Boero (1944), Cooley (1946), Hoogstraal (1956), Arthur (1960), Gothe (1967), Roberts (1970), Nuñez et al. (1972) and Waladde (1976) among others, have described the morphology of the Boophilus microplus tick not only including differential characteristics of each of its life-cycle stages, but taking as reference observations achieved with the aid of the optical microscope.
