The study was conducted on a dual purpose ranch from Iguala Guerrero, Mexico. Before the study was started, about 30 engorged female ticks were collected in order to carry out a toxicological study by the larval packet test to determine susceptibility to conventional pesticides (pyrethroids, organophosphates and amitraz). Cattle were previously treated with ivermectin, 20 cattle were selected in two groups, which were monitored every 15 days in order to quantify the number of ticks in each group. The antibodies were significantly increased after the second dose of the immunogen and the number of ticks per animal on the ranch remained significantly low for 7 months, three months for the effect of the immunogen and 4 probably due to the significant decrease in ticks pasture. Integrated programs for tick control should involve both use of vaccines and pesticides in order to lower the use of pesticides, contamination of the environment and both milk and meat for human consumption.
