As in most parts of the world where the cattle tick Boophilus microplus is established, resistance of ticks to acaricides occurs in New Caledonia. In order to implement laboratory resistance tests on larvae, engorged females collected in suspected farms are necessary. Investigations on the detachment schedule of the engorged females were conducted to explain certain field situations such as the lack or scarcity of engorged females on highly infested cattle driven from the pasture to the pen in the morning. Three experiments on Charolais steers naturally infested on pastures showed that: (1) engorged female burdens at sunrise are similar whether the steers spend the night in pasture or in a pen; (2) compared with steers maintained in a pen, morning detachment of females increases when the steers stay on the pasture or move from the pasture to the pen; (3) detachment rhythm of engorged females on steers staying the morning in a pen, is not influenced by feeding activity or exposition of steers to sun; (4) detachment occurs earlier for females attached on anatomical sites exposed to sun, and earlier from these sites for the steers in pasture or walking than for steers in a pen.
