Abstract: SAMBRANO, MICO ANDREO S. Preliminary Survey of Ticks in the Province of Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Noemi D Encarnacion, DVM, MVet Epi. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of ticks in cattle and in pasture lands in the province of Cavite. A total of 1302 ticks, 74.19% from Central Hilly region and 25.81% from the lowland region, were collected from 35 cattle farms in the province of Cavite, all of which were identified as Rhipicephalus' microplus. Significantly greater proportion of ticks collected ticks were adults (78.96%, P=O.OOOO) while the rest are in the larval stage (21.04%) No nymphal stage was recovered during collection. Among the adult ticks collected, the females have a higher quantity compared to male ticks (84.82%, P=O.OOOO). Weak negative but insignificant association was found between tick density and number of cattle pastured in the farm (r = -0.1516, P= 0.4692) and ticks collected in pasture and number of ticks in cattle (r = 0.06, P =0.7595). Results of the univariate analysis revealed that acaricide treatment and number of cattle pastured with tick abundance (OR 3.48 and I -38, respectively) are epidemiologically associated but are not statistically significant. Acaricide treatment can lead to a reduction in tick abundance and is most likely to occur if the proper protocols for acaricide treatment are applied. The number of cattle pastured can also affect the level of tick abundance since an increase in the number of cattle pastured can lead to an increase in the abundance of the host, which is essential for the continuation of the life cycle of R. microplus ticks.
