Abstract
Ticks are responsible
for significant economic loses in Africa and the world. This study compares the
effect of ethanolic extract of Tephrosiavogelii (tv) and Alfapor ® on
Amblyommavariegatum. For this purpose, fifty (50) Borgou bulls of 1-2 years
were divided into 10 lots of five. Lot 0 (control) was not treated. The others
treatments have been from one treatment to two treatments (seven days after the
first one) with the extract of tv in direct application.andtThe spraying form
of has been used with one treatment to two treatments (seven days after the
firs one).. The mortality rate of ticks in the Lot 1 between days 2 and 7 ranged
from 59.49% to 87.76% and 84, 89% to 100% in lot 9 (P <0.05).The perineum
has the highest infection rate (35.31%) with a significative difference
compared to the scrotum (26.92%) and dewlap (24.89%) (P <0,05). At day 7
which is the last day count before the second treatment, Lot 5 who received a
single treatment of the extract ofTephrosiavogeliiat 4 ml / L water spray has
the highest rate mortality ticks (88.97%) with a significant difference
compared to the other groups (P <0.05).It appears that the ano-genital area
was the most infested by Amblyommavariegatum; the ethanolic extract of tv used
in direct application of 8 ml on Amblyommavariegatum is effective at 98.51%;
Alfapor® used 1ml / L of water spray is as effective as ethanolic extract of tv
direct implementation in 8 ml of Amblyommavariegatum.

Introduction
In most African
occidental countries such as Benin, ruminant livestock is one of the main
activities in animal production. Since 2004, Benin has estimated cattle at
1,717,900 heads. This herd is experiencing an annual growth rate of about 3.6%
and is composed of the bullfighting races lagoon, Borgou and Somba (31%) of
M'bororo zebu, Goudali and White Fulani (7.7%), as well as subjects and their
crossbreeds (61.3%) (MAEP, 2004). These animals offer tremendous benefits to
producers on livestock, economic and socio-cultural (Pamoet al., 2002).
Unfortunately, their productivity is still low, many diseases that affect their
growth and reproduction constituting one of the main causes.
Indeed, like cattle in
other countries of West Africa, those of Benin undergo various parasitic
attacks including, ticks occupy a prominent place. Diseases transmitted by
these ticks are numerous. Some of these diseases include heartwater,
anaplasmosis, theileriosis, babesiosis. Infestation by ticks also causes the
appearance of dermatophilosis a more or less serious bacterial skin condition
(Frebling,2005). In addition, each of these diseases has risks of
immunosuppression and negative impacts on the biochemical parameters of the
body static.
To overcome these
difficulties, synthetic acaricides are used in intensive production systems to
combat and control these ectoparasites (Pamoet al., 2002). However, the impact
on man and his environment, the presence of resistant strains of mites to
acaricides and the high cost of good quality products at local markets require
a search for alternatives because ticks can cause a variety of health
conditions ranging from harmless to serious (de Castro et al. 1997).. so the
aim of this study is to compare the effect of Alfapor® and the ethanolic
extract of leaves of TephrosiavogeliionAmblyommavariegatum tick in bovine
