Abstract
References

Objective. To analyze the mechanisms of action, biological activity and application prospects of Trichoderma spp. and Beauveria bassiana as biological control alternatives against Rhipicephalus microplus, a tick of importance in cattle production whose chemical control is limited by acaricide resistance. Methodology. Narrative review with a qualitative approach of the literature published between 1996 and 2026 in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SciELO and Google Scholar on the biology and epidemiology of R. microplus, acaricide resistance, control alternatives and the activity of entomopathogenic fungi, with emphasis on B. bassiana and Trichoderma spp. Results. B. bassiana has stronger experimental support, with effects on mortality, reproduction, development and hatching across different stages of R. microplus. Trichoderma spp. showed potential associated with hydrolytic enzymes, secondary metabolites and antagonistic mechanisms, although specific evidence on eggs remains limited. Conclusion. Control of R. microplus requires an integrated approach. B. bassiana is the alternative with the most available evidence, whereas Trichoderma spp. is a promising option that requires specific studies on ovicidal activity, strains, mechanisms and application conditions.
