Sensitivity of Different Cattle Breeds to the Infestation of Cattle Ticks Amblyomma variegatum, Rhipicephalus microplus, and Hyalomma spp. on the Natural Pastures of Opkara Farm, Benin

Table 1

Abundance and mean parasitic intensity for tick’s species.

Ticks species	Number of ticks	Abundance (%)	Mean parasitic intensity ()
A. variegatum	762	8.42	11.90
R. microplus	8079	89.28	126.23
Hyalomma spp.	208	2.29	3.25

Mean parasitic intensity () corresponds to the ratio of the total number of individuals of a parasite species () in a sample of hosts on the number of infested hosts () in the sample. .
