[Morphofunctional changes, and their significance, of salivary glands of ixodid ticks of subfamilies Ixodinae and Amblyomminae (Acari: Ixodidae) during nutrition].
By methods of light and electron microscopy, dynamics of functioning of salivary glands has been studied in female ticks of the genus Ixodes. Based on literature data and on our own studies, a comparative analysis of morphofunctional changes and of role of salivary gland secretion has been performed in female ticks of subfamilies Ixodinae and Amblyomminae in the process of nutrition.
