[Processes of bacterial L transformation and L form reversion in the body of argasid ticks].
The experimental infection of tampan ticks (Ornithodoros moubata) with the bacterial cultures of Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella typhimurium, as well as with their L-forms, was carried out. These experiments demonstrated that both the L-transformation of bacteria and the reversion of their L-forms into the initial bacterial culture could occur in the body of the ticks.
