There is limited information on the resistance to acaricidal drugs of cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus in Lower Amazon region. Thus, we aimed determine efficiency three widely used acaricide products (Amitraz, Cypermethrin, and Deltamethrin) control this species. The adult immersion test was engorged female ticks sampled farms region, Brazil.
