Summary The current study evaluates the protein and lipid profile of haemolymph of Rhipicephalus ( Boophilus ) microplus engorged females infected by Metarhizium anisopliae , Beauveria bassiana or Fusarium oxysporum . Ticks were immersed or inoculated with conidial suspension. Haemolymph was collected from the dorsal surface of engorged females. The results showed altered total protein amounts; however, no significant difference was observed on electrophoretic profile among haemolymph samples. In addition, altered lipid profile was detected in haemocyte samples from ticks treated with Beauveria and Metarhizium.
