<p>The control of ticks is a subject of high interest for cattle breeders and researchers, due to its negative influence on bovine production systems, since ticks are a transmission route of pathogens that cause severe damage to the health of their hosts and they represent a potential risk in public health. Therefore, it is necessary to know the proper management and treatment for these parasites. The objective of this review is to collect information on two methods of control of these ticks, on the one hand, the control with chemical products ixodicides; and, on the other hand, the control with entomopathogenic fungi with Metarhizium anisopliae and Cordyceps bassiana. In this way, we will define the effectiveness of the treatments according to their influence on the mortality of ectoparasites, and what is the impact that these parasites generate in economic terms for livestock production.</p>
