ON THE TIME OF PRESERVATION OF AVIAN SPIROCHETES IN THE BODY OF HUNGRY ARGAS PERSICUS (OKEN, 1818) TICKS,
Abstract
The agent of birds' spirochaetosis, Spirochaeta anserinum (Sach., 1891) is preserved in the organs of artificially infected ticks Argas persicus which starved for 5 years (observation time) in a visible coiled form for 6 years. After blood sucking the number of spirochetes in the ticks increases at the expense of transversal division. (Author)
