Abstract
⺠The tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is a major cattle pest. ⺠The enthomopathogenic fungus Beauveria felina produces destruxins. ⺠Destruxins were obtained from B. felina growth media. ⺠Destruxins displayed 30% inhibition of R. (B.) microplus engorged females development. ⺠Destruxins have potential to be developed as ticks' biological control.
