描述了一种雌性牛蜱的肿胀和下降模式。已长到4-6 mm（10-30 mg）长度的部分充血的雌性在夜间经历快速的最终充血，达到8-11 mm（150-250 mg）长度，并在清晨与牛分离。雌性的最小尺寸随季节而变化。在夏季和冬季观察到的牛蜱虫肿胀和下降模式的差异，并在开放式庭院和有盖的摊位举行的牛，表明外部环境的影响，特别是温度和光线，蜱虫肿胀和分离。一天内计数4.5-8 mm长的蜱虫可提供第二天下降的饱食蜱虫数量的可靠估计值，并已用于评估牛的蜱虫数量。
A pattern of engorgement and dropping of the female cattle tick Boophilus microplus is described. Partly engorged females, which have grown to a length of 4–6 mm (10–30 mg), undergo rapid final engorgement at night to reach a length of 8–11 mm (150–250 mg) and detach from cattle in the early hours of the morning. The minimum size of females which engorge varies with season. Differences in the engorgement and dropping pattern of ticks on cattle observed in summer and in winter, and on cattle held in open yards and in covered stalls, suggest an influence of the external environment, particularly temperature and light, on tick engorgement and detachment. Counting of ticks 4.5–8 mm in length on one day was shown to provide a reliable estimate of the numbers of engorged ticks dropping the following day and has been adopted for the assessment of tick numbers on cattle.
