The effect of irradiation on the susceptibility of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks to Theileria parva infection
Irradiation doses of 800 rad. or less had no detectable effect on the subsequent development of unfed nymphal Rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks. Doses of 1600 rad. or above impaired feeding and moulting and delayed the subsequent development of unfed nymphs. At 6400 rad. no ticks completed their mo...
