Abstract:
Techniques for the rearing of Amblyomma species to be used in heartwater (Cowdria ruminantium) transmission experiments are discussed. These involve the breeding and maintenance of infected and non-infected strains of ticks. They include the feeding of ticks on sheep, rabbits, mice, tortoises and guinea fowl.
