The efficacy of the Drummond adult test on Boophilus microplus females (Acarina: Ixodidae) subjected to various periods of cold storage prior to organophosphate testing.
Engorged females of Boophilus microplus, stored at 4 degrees C for up to 5 days, and females, kept at room temperature for 1 day and then at 4 degrees C for 1 day, showed no significant differences in their response to an organophosphate as determined by the Drummond adult test.
