Fig. 5From: A new method for in vitro feeding of Rhipicephalus australis (formerly Rhipicephalus microplus) larvae: a valuable tool for tick vaccine developmentEffect of feeding medium on larval engorgement. Engorgement on defribrinated blood was compared to serum alone. In this experiment two independent feeding units were used for each feeding medium. Fifty-nine percent of the larvae with access to serum engorged compared to the 71% feeding on bloodBack to article page
