| Popis: | Groups of R. appendiculatus ticks infected with T. parva were irradiated at doses varying from 0 to 32 krad and then applied to rabbits; 3 and 4 days later their salivary glands were removed, processed and examined. Increasing doses of irradiation resulted both in a decreased infection rate of ticks and a decrease in the number of parasite masses observed in infected ticks. No normal parasite masses were seen after doses of 4 krad or above. |
