Feeding Injected Days °C Host Ratio Whole Organ System


Argas arboreus adults and nymphs infected by feeding or puncture transmitted by bite to 1-3 day chicks after extrinsic incubation periods of 12-57 days. Successful transmission experiments also with A. hermanni and Ornithodoros savignyi ticks.
