[Influence of temperature on the duration of the developmental cycle of Ixodes persulcatus (Ixodidae) ticks].
Experiments were conducted with ticks of I. persulcatus collected in the vicinity of Khabarovsk. The females were fed at the beginning of June, hatched larvae and nymphs--after the completion of postlarval development. The ticks were maintained in testglasses at constant humidity, at temperatures of 6, 12, 15, 28 and 33C in darkness. Minimum developmental periods of the ticks from egg to imago are 211 days at 28C, 732 days at 15C and 869 days at 12C. The development without diapause was not observed in the experiment.
