Abstract

Amputation experiments upon immature stages of Argas persicus (Oken 1818), Amblyomma hebraeum Koch 1844, and Hyalomma aegyptium (Linnaeus 1746) show that the mouthparts and legs of these ticks may be more or less regenerated when mutilated shortly after the ticks have abandoned the host in a fully engorged condition.
