Previously unexposed naive cattle were infested with 500-20,000 larvae of the tick B. microplus, to observe whether density dependent mortality of the tick occurs on cattle which have not acquired resistance. Similar proportions of larvae matured at different densities, which contrasts with previous findings of increased mortality at higher densities on cattle with acquired resistance to B. microplus. Major differences were observed between the proportion of larvae maturing in different experiments.
