FORMED ELEMENTS OF THE HEMOLYMPH OF IXODID TICKS,

Abstract

Cellular forms of the hemolymph were examined in smears from proximal cuts of the legs, in smears from the internal organs of adult females in various physiological states, and in a few experimental states (the introduction of a neutral red India ink and ammoniacal carmine into the body cavity). The hemolymph was studied in the natural state with the help of a phase-contrast attachment to microscope MBI-3. Fixation of the smears was done according to Vejdenrejkh, and the azure-eosin stain according to Romanovskij. The studies of Boophilus calcaratus and Hyalomma detritum were most detailed. The H. anatolicum, Rhipicephalus sanguineus and Dermacentor species were also studied. (Author)
