Abstract:
The reproductive system of female Rhipicephalus sanguineus consists of a single ovary, paired oviducts fusing into a single common oviduct, connecting tube, the vagina that in turn divides into cervical and vestibular regions, a wide receptaculum seminis and tubular accessory glands that open into the vagina between the cervical and vestibular regions. The histological structure of each part of the female reproductive system is described. The fine structure of the ovary, connecting tube and accessory glands is also provided in this study.
