Abstract: Models are important tools to assess the impacts of tick infestation on the economic performance of different beef cattle production systems. The information from these simulations can be used by producers to evaluate, compare and make decisions about strategic measures to control the tick Rhipicephalus microplus, which cause significant production losses for the beef cattle production chain.
