Abstract
Beauveria bassiana is one of the most promising agents for use as a bioacaricide to control the cattle tick Boophilus microplus, responsible for economic losses and transmission of infectious diseases. With the aim of optimizing the efficacy of chemical products, as well as the use of entomopathogens, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the compatibility and the synergism between this fungus and the drug deltamethrin on a strain of B. microplus that is resistant to this product.
