M.  aAdjustment of simulations of Cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) populations and field observations in the Planalto region of Brasilia (DF).  c1995  aThe adjustment of simulations to correlate with real-time observations of cattle tick (Boophilus microplus) populations, under varying local conditions, permits the identification of keyfactors, reliable mapping of the distribution of this parasite, and the designing appropriate local control programmes. The CLIMEX programme was used in the present study to compare 24 months of actual counts of standard female ticks, at the high (&gt 1000m) Planaltina site in the central region of Brazil, with local ecoparasitological simulations, with the Campo Grande site (&gt 550m) and with others previously studied, where tick-counts are available. A meaningful relationship exists between the various components analysed; future control programmes, especially under conditions of tick resistance, can be developed using data of this type.  aBrazil  apopulation dynamics  aBoophilus Microplus  aCarrapato  aCerrado  aDinâmica Populacional  aSimulação  aBrasil  aDistrito Federal  aSimulation1 aHONER, M.
