PREVALENCE OF Rhipicephalus sanguineus INFESTATION IN DOGS IN CUERNAVACA, MORELOS, MEXICO

The study was conducted in the urban municipality of Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. From two private veterinary clinics a sample of 1742 dogs during a three year period (1993-1995) were examined to detect the presence of Rhipicephalus sanguineus ticks in any parasitic stage, collecting and identifying...
