Abstract
Ixodid ticks collected by the junior author (White 1949) incidental to a survey in Jackson County, Mississippi, were forwarded to the Rocky Mountain Laboratory, Hamilton, Montana, for examination for disease agents. Jackson County is the most eastward of the three coastal counties of Mississippi. In all, five species of Ixodidae were collected between 25 August 1947 and 28 May 1949, but disease agents were recovered in only the two most prevalent species in collections, namely, Amblyomma americanum (L.) and A. maculatum Koch. The results of these tick tests are the subject of this report. 4This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
