Abstract
Efficient methods and materials for the mass rearing of Amblyomma americanum (L.) include the mass feeding of immature stages on chickens and the feeding of adults in cells on cattle. A masking tape-cold water method of collecting replete immatures was developed. Average population increases per generation has been 700X.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
